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.

Notes:
NUMA scheduler is fully there now. Please let me know of tuning data.
Summit code should be fully working, with no more interrupt distribution
problems. Discontigmem code for x440 may not work without a small ACPI fix.
Pending:
Speed up page init on boot (Bill Irwin)
Notsc automatic enablement (someone, please ... anyone?)
scheduler callers profiling (Anton)
PPC64 NUMA patches (Anton)
Lockless xtime structures (Andi)
P4 oprofile support (movement)
Child runs first (akpm)
New starfire driver (Ion)
New qlogic driver (Badari ??)
