I suppose I should let Andrea submit these, but he has such a huge
patch collection (thank you!) that I thought it might be useful to
pick out some of the smaller ones that would be less controversial
for inclusion in the main kernel.
* nanosleep-4
Provide nanosleep usec resolution so that a signal flood doesn't hang
glibc folks that correctly trust the rem field to resume the nanosleep
after a syscall interruption. (without the patch nanosleep resolution
is instead 10msec on IA32 and around 1msec on alpha)
* tsc-calibration-non-compile-time-1
TSC calibration must be dynamic and not a compile time thing because
gettimeofday is dynamic and it depends on the TSCs to be in sync.
* IO-wait-2
Avoid spurious unplug of the I/O queue.
* buf-run_task_queue
Avoid spurious unplug of the I/O queue. (again!)
* account-failed-buffer-tries-1
Account also for failed buffer tries during shrink_mmap.
* overcommit-1
Make sure to not understimate the available memory (the cache and
buffers may be under the min percent).
