After the positive feedback from users with my patch for 2.4.18 and requests
for the latest kernel I've combined the following patches:
O(1) scheduler
Preemptible
These are based on the latest patches available for the 2.4.19 kernel. I will
be merging the latest low latency patch soon also. It seems to work nicely so
far, but would be interested to know how others fare. I've not tried SMP as I
dont have an SMP machine.
The combined patch against 2.4.19 (and now a diff patch for preemptible on top
of O(1)) can be found here:

Thanks again to all the real kernel developers for making this possible

It's a tedious job merging all these patches

Pleasd, send notice when the low latency
patches are merged in too -

I'm not trying to get this patch included in mainstream 2.4
I did it for myself and the others who want to play with it.

Nothing wrong with trying it out is there?
