kernel.org is being slow. Should later appear at

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.65/2.5.65-mm1/

. An updated version of Russell's PCMCIA patches

. Lots more anticipatory scheduler work.

. It turns out that calling disk request_fns from timer/tasklet context is
not permitted because a few old drivers like to sleep in that function.

keventd cannot be used for this because it can deadlock. So another
kernel thread per CPU has been reluctantly added.

Changes since 2.5.64-mm8:
