ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.70/2.5.70-mm8/

. lots of new fixes

. Anticipatory scheduler patch should fix the recently-noticed slowdown
with seeky O_DIRECT read loads.

. ext3 locking work will hopefully fix the assertion failure in
journal_commit_transaction() which two people have reported.
