URL: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.33/2.5.33-mm3/

+filemap-integration.patch

  Cleanup and code consolidation for readv and writev: generic_file_read()
  and generic_file_write() take an iovec, and tons of code goes away.

  A work in progress.

+direct-io-alignment.patch

  Allow finer-than-fs-blocksize alignment for O_DIRECT.

  A work in progress, which has a bit of a correctness problem, actually.

+mmap-fixes.patch

  Some cleanups and fixes from Christoph.


Also quite a lot of fiddling with the new non-blocking page reclaim
code.  This works well.
