. Niggling bugs in the anticipatory scheduler are causing problems. I've
reset the default to elevator=deadline until we get these fixed up.
. Added Alex's ext2 lock_super-removal patches
. The brlock removal patches are back
. Added /proc/sysrq-trigger. Writing a character to this has the same
effect as typing ALT-sysrq-that_character.
This is so that sysrq facilities are available remotely.
. Lots of new PCI handling code here from Russell King <[email protected]>

Following comments from Ivan, the following patches changed:
pci-9
only enable ROM resources if res->flags has PCI_ROM_ADDRESS_ENABLE set.
pci-10
don't use PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES here - PPC machines can (in theory) have
more than 4 primary bus resources.
pci-11
breaks Alpha Nautilus host bridge sizing - patch dropped from patch set.
For those trying the above out, please apply the following patch on top of

I haven't still experienced those bugs using mm6 and AS.
Is there an easy way to reproduce them?
Thanks!

Actually its easy to repro at least one of them here. Nick has
been sending me debug versions of the patch and has a debug output
from a boot here that stalls. IMHO Latench is as big a problem
as reproducing the bug(s).

I get bit by the AS bugs on recent -mm kernels. It is reproducible every
time I start X. Here are a few points to my setup that might help
someone to reproduce the problem.
1. My home dir is on a LVM striped LV across two IDE disks.
2. Recently I had modified my .xinitrc like this:
# Nice smooth X under load
#sudo /usr/bin/renice -10 $(pgrep -u root X)
exec gnome-session
