. One anticipatory scheduler patch, but it's a big one. I have not stress
tested it a lot. If it explodes please report it and then boot with
elevator=deadline.

. The slab magazine layer code is in its hopefully-final state.

. Some VFS locking scalability work - stress testing of this would be
useful.
