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. http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.59/patch-2.5.59-mjb1.bz2 Since 2.5.58-mjb2 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped) Notes: Lots of good stuff merged up with Linus. x440 distcontigmem seems to have problems in some circumstances, but APCI should work in this release. merged with Linus: - summit1 James Cleverdon / John Stultz - summit2 James Cleverdon / John Stultz - summit3 James Cleverdon / John Stultz - summit4 James Cleverdon / John Stultz - summit5 James Cleverdon / John Stultz - min_numasched Martin J.
