. One anticipatory scheduler patch, but it's a big one.  I have not stress
  tested it a lot.  If it explodes please report it and then boot with
  elevator=deadline.

. The slab magazine layer code is in its hopefully-final state.

. Some VFS locking scalability work - stress testing of this would be
  useful.
