. Just lots of little fixes, cleanups, late-but-promised minor features,
etc.
. There is a small patch from Ingo here against the CPU scheduler which we
hope will fix the new starvation problems which people have been reporting.
I this is you, please test and report.
. It turns out that a recent change to the anticipatory scheduler
accidentally made it quite ineffective on SCSI (performance is similar to
deadline). The patch which did that has been disabled, but we expect that
the seeky OLTP loads will suffer until this is fixed up for real.
