Resyncing for 2.6.5. An update here is AA rounding off some very nice VM
work.

One of my aims is to keep CK's new staircase cpu scheduler in sync with
the current kernel, for people to play with more easily, while he is
away for 2 months. So it is here as a seperate download as well.

Patches applied on a base of linux-2.6.5:
- Con Kolivas' alternate staircase cpu scheduler 5.2
- Jens Axboe's cfq io scheduler
- Andrea Archangeli's 2.6.5-aa1.bz2
- William Lee Irwin III's patches from linux-2.6.0-test11-wli-1 {
    - #17 convert copy_strings() to use kmap_atomic() instead of kmap()
    - #19 node-local i386 per_cpu areas
    - #22 increase static vfs hashtable and VM array sizes
    - #24 /proc/ BKL gunk plus page wait hashtable sizing adjustment
    - #25 invalidate_inodes() speedup
}

For best desktop performance, compile with PREEMPT on, and run with
"elevator=cfq" on your kernel command line.
