Changes

Added:
 +sched-staircase13.3_13.4.patch
Staircase tweaks. Disable use of TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag. It is not needed 
with staircase and just slows down things waiting on pipes.

 +fix-scsi_cmd_cache_leak.patch
Fix the scsi_cmd_cache slab leak


Modified:
 -mm-kswapd_inherit_prio.patch
 +mm-kswapd_inherit_prio-1.patch
A dud patch merge caused lousy performance once memory was full. This restores 
the patch to its proper state.
