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.
NOTE - you will have to apply -bk3 before applying this release.
