. Collapsed all the shared pagetable patches into a single patch, so
it is readable now. Also made it selectable in config again.
It is unlikely that the shared pagetable code will be merged.
. A patch which fixes the run-child-first-after-fork logic. This
supposedly will provide benefits when the child quickly exec's a
new program, but I'm not able to measure much difference at all. It
would be interesting if anyone can find a workload which likes this.
Last time we tried this, /bin/bash broke...
This patch is much more intrusive than it needs to be - it ended up
being a great chase against various scheduler startup bogons. Not
sure that it improves things much, actually.
It will break non-ia32 kernels in its present form.
