These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity
with specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable to any workload.
Apply to 2.6.35:

Each discrete patch contains a brief description of what it does at the top of
the patch itself.
The most significant change is an updated BFS cpu scheduler. See:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/6/620
The rest is a resync only since 2.6.34-ck1.
Patch series:
2.6.35-sched-bfs-323.patch

As discussed on the BFS release announce, here are some interbench results,
performed on a lower spec machine. Hyperthreading was enabled, so this was an
SMP config with 2 CPUs. Use a fixed width font to make it readable.
See you all next major 3 point kernel release.
Comparison of 2.6.35 v 2.6.35-ck1 on a pentium 4HT with 1GB ram.
Note the significantly higher number of deadlines met on ck1, and when
deadlines are not met, the worst case latencies are mostly better. These
are the two most important parameters to compare. Asterisk placed where
values are significantly better. >= 5% or 5ms is considered significant.
