. I've split the anticipatory scheduling code out into the experimental/
directory. We need to get the base I/O scheduler settled down and working
well. Various bad things have happened to it in recent months.
The I/O scheduler in this patchset should perform quite well.
. Futexes, direct-io and ptrace peek/poke into hugetlb pages were all
quite broken. Should be fixed up here.
Changes since 2.5.59-mm6:
+devfs-fix.patch
Bring the devfs mount-at-boot fix back.
+batch-tuning.patch
I/O scheduler tuning - split up the read and write batching settings, pick
