Changes

Added:
+sched-staircase13.3_13.4.patch
Staircase tweaks. Disable use of TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag. It is not needed
with staircase and just slows down things waiting on pipes.

Fix the scsi_cmd_cache slab leak


Modified:
-mm-kswapd_inherit_prio.patch
+mm-kswapd_inherit_prio-1.patch
A dud patch merge caused lousy performance once memory was full. This restores
the patch to its proper state.

No, sorry. A series of patches that remain a series of patches from one
version to the next is much easier and simpler for me to maintain as a quilt
series (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt). The closest I come to
automation is support for 'ketchup'.
