2.6.12-ck5

[Con Kolivas]

These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity. 
It is configurable to any workload but the default ck* patch is aimed at the 
desktop and ck*-server is available with more emphasis on serverspace.

Changes since 2.6.12-ck4:
-schedbatch2.8.diff
+schedbatch2.9.diff
A rare stall on hyperthreading was addressed and now batch tasks suspend 
properly.

-schediso2.12.diff
SCHED_ISO was dropped entirely. It broke in ck4, and there is now a decent 
defacto standard for unprivileged realtime in mainline kernel with realtime 
RLIMITS so I'm supporting the use of that instead.

-isobatch_ionice2.diff
+batch_ionice.diff
Remove check for SCHED_ISO

-HZ-864.diff
It seems there were far more areas of the kernel not ready for this Hz value 
than I could have anticipated much to my dismay even though all code should 
be written in a HZ neutral fashion. Return normal -ck to HZ=1000 and change 
ck-server to HZ=100.

-patch-2.6.12.3
+patch-2.6.12.4.bz2
Latest stable series

-2612ck4-version.diff
+2612ck5-version.diff
Version update.


Cheers,
Con
