It is configurable to any workload but the default ck* patch is aimed at the 
desktop and ck*-server is available with more emphasis on serverspace.

*prefetching should still be considered experimental*
I appreciate the extensive testing it is receiving!

Changes:

Added:
+vm-sp6_sp7.2.patch
Swap prefetching update. Locking problems caused bizarre slowdowns on smp, smt 
or preempt configurations. Locking has been extensively revised and hopefully 
all fixed. Very frequent testing of free memory is now also done as 
kprefetchd runs at low priority (nice 19) and it may be a while between each 
page prefetched.

+per-task-predictive-write-throttling-1.patch
Andrea's write throttling patch
