Split patches available.
*NOTE*
If you're looking for the 1GB lowmem option it has been replaced and you
should choose the following in menuconfig for the same effect:
( ) 3G/1G user/kernel split
(X) 3G/1G user/kernel split (for full 1G low memory)
( ) 2G/2G user/kernel split
( ) 1G/3G user/kernel split
Changes
Added:
+sched-staircase13.2_13.3.patch
Microoptimisations (thanks Andreas Mohr) and patch merge typofix.
+vmsplit-config_options.patch
Added the variable memory split config option which is going to be part of

CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ should only exist for x86_32
+patch-2.6.15.1.bz2

When I have 1GB of memory, the option before was
clear.
What this now means, who knows... :-(
And there is no help for the options.

I'm sorry. This is the patch from mainline and it was already argued on the lk
mailing list. This is what is in -mm and going into the vanilla kernel in the
future. The help text does not come up in menuconfig I realise but that's why
I pointed it out here.
