I think this is the main reason of existence for -mm kernels: find problems,
sort them out and fix them. I've been running -mm kernels since 2.5.80+ and
all problems I have had were resolved in a timely manner.

What I think is that Con's scheduler is the one that needs to get into -mm
kernels to give it more exposure. Currently, it has a very limited audience.
