2.6.0-test9-mjb2

From: Martin J. Bligh
Date: Fri Nov 07 2003 - 17:14:45 EST


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.
