The most significant change is an updated BFS CPU scheduler, up to version 0.363. See the announce of that patch for the changelog. The rest is a resync. 2.6.37-sched-bfs-363.patch sched-add-above-background-load-function.patch mm-make_swappiness_really_mean_it.patch mm-zero_swappiness.patch mm-enable_swaptoken_only_when_swap_full.patch mm-drop_swap_cache_aggressively.patch mm-kswapd_inherit_prio-1.patch mm-background_scan.patch mm-idleprio_prio-1.patch mm-lru_cache_add_lru_tail.patch mm-decrease_default_dirty_ratio.patch kconfig-expose_vmsplit_option.patch hz-default_1000.patch hz-no_default_250.patch hz-raise_max.patch preempt-desktop-tune.patch cpufreq-bfs_tweaks.patch ck1-version.patch I'll be offline shortly and in Japan for a few weeks so I'll be unlikely to respond to any emails in that time.
