2.4.20-ck4

[Con Kolivas]

I've updated my patchset

It includes:
O(1) scheduler
Preempt
Low Latency
AA VM addons
Read Latency2
SuperMount
XFS
ACPI
DVD/CDRW packet writing
Desktop Tuning
optional extras:
Compressed caching
Rmap15d

Changes since ck3:
Supermount bug which caused random hangs has been quenched
AA VM has been updated to latest available
Packet writing for cdrw/dvd has been added
Rmap patch is now a patch which can be applied to the full ck4 patch which 
rips out the aa vmversion

Known bugs:
Accounting bug in supermount causes harmless error on shutdown.

It can be found here:
http://kernel.kolivas.org
Domain name has changed sorry :-(

Please test carefully, especially the new features as I don't have the 
resources to test them out.

Feel free to contact me with suggestions, questions, comments, patches and 
requests

You do not include ALSA anymore. Is that just because of lack of time,
or did i miss some serious problem with it?

Thanks for you patches, anyway

I believe Con did it because the ALSA in his patchset was woefully 
outdated and it was more useful to just point people to alsa-project.org 
;) The ALSA in -ck2 was 0.9.0rc2; at the time, rc4 was out, for example.

HTH,

The alsa patches I had available were simply a backport of 0.90rc2 from 2.5.
Since alsa is now up to 0.90rc7 they were getting old, and a new backport 
would require some effort. There isn't much point to doing this since the 
only real benefit to patching it into the kernel directly is having the 
ability to compile it into the kernel instead of as modules. You can easily 
enough compile the modules after the kernel is compiled.

A pleasure, enjoy!
