ckrm-e17

[Shailabh Nagar <nagar@watson.ibm.com>]

Version e17 of the Class-based Kernel Resource Management
is now available for download from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=85838&package_id=94608
	
The major updates since the previous version include:
1. Numerous bugfixes
2. Control over rate of process forks through the numtasks controller.
The rate of forking is a single systemwide parameter affecting all 
classes. Existing share-based control over total number of forks allowed 
per class remains the same.
3. Interface change: The "target" file has been removed from the RCFS 
interface. The same functionality can now be obtained by writing to the 
"members" file of any class.

progress and will be included in the next release.

Testing and feedback welcome.
