Changelog
Additions:
+ Staircase scheduler - my complete scheduler policy rewrite for interactivity
built on top of the current O(1) scheduler

Changes:
~New batch scheduling (idle scheduling) policy from scratch based on new
scheduler is much simpler and less prone to system starvation issues
~New isochronous scheduling (low latency, non real time scheduling for
non-privileged users)
~Updated sched_domains
~Updated bootsplash v3.1.4
~Updated reiser4 snapshot (2004.03.25)

Unchanged:
Autoregulated vm swappiness

CFQ I/O scheduler with I/O priority support.


This is my parting gesture as I'll be on extended leave from 31st March till
the end of May.
