The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything
else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable,
not so much a testing ground for new stuff.
I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any
platform, however large or small.

additional patches that can be applied if desired:
(these three form the qlogic feral driver)

Add a printk for some buffer error I was hitting
- reslabify-pmd-pgd William Lee Irwin
Stick things back in the slab. Or something.

Oops, sorry about that.
wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/patches/2.6.0-test3/2.6.0-test3-mjb1/400-reiserfs_dio
patch -p1 -R < 400-reiserfs_dio
Should fix it for now ...
Ming Ming, could you do a new patch?
Thanks,
M.
