Combined performance patches for 2.4.19

Combined performance patches for 2.4.19

After the positive feedback from users with my patch for 2.4.18 and requests 
for the latest kernel I've combined the following patches:

O(1) scheduler
Preemptible

These are based on the latest patches available for the 2.4.19 kernel. I will 
be merging the latest low latency patch soon also. It seems to work nicely so 
far, but would be interested to know how others fare. I've not tried SMP as I 
dont have an SMP machine.

The combined patch against 2.4.19 (and now a diff patch for preemptible on top 
of O(1)) can be found here:

http://kernel.kolivas.net

Thanks again to all the real kernel developers for making this possible

It's a tedious job merging all these patches
and your work is appreciated -  Danke!

Pleasd, send notice when the low latency
patches are merged in too -

I'm not trying to get this patch included in mainstream 2.4 
I did it for myself and the others who want to play with it.

Nothing wrong with trying it out is there?
