I think we should start with the speedups only.  Lets get the bitmap
code in 2.5.x (ASAP, I'm willing to merge if Oleg is busy) and the file
write changes seem to have a little ways to go.

I believe the relocation stuff should be tested in andrea's and/or
Alan's kernels before we submit for 2.4.21preX.  We shouldn't mix
must-have speedups with nice to have features (as large as the
relocation anyway) in the same 2.4.x series.
