Err I made the ck patchset so I think I should know. ck9 came only as one
patch which included O(1),Low Latency, Preempt, Compressed Caching,
Supermount, ALSA and XFS. CK10-13 on the otherhand had optional Compressed
Caching OR AA OR Rmap. By default since they are 2.4 kernels they all include
the vanilla aa vm, but the ck trunk with AA has the extra AA vm addons only
available in the -AA kernel set. If you disabled compressed caching in ck9
you got only the vanilla 2.4.19 vm.
