Hi Ingo,

        This patch synchronizes with J7 and I think makes the changes
you wished. A couple of important points:

                - This patch can be applied to EITHER 2.4.17 OR 2.4.18 pre 7 as
                        long as Ingo's J7 patch is applied first.

                - While I agree with you on not wanting these in the mainline kernel,
                        I ran Hackbench on one of our new Foster systems with and
                        without the tuneable parameters, and while the numbers do
                        degrade slightly, its rather suprisingly small. So dont be afraid
                        to use this as a system tuning aid.
