Patchset update. These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness with specific emphasis on the desktop, but configurable to any workload.
Web site with faq: http://kernel.kolivas.org Patches (with split-out also): http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-ck5/
Added since ck4: +s8.0_s8.1 Sync with latest staircase patch. Tiny fix affecting very short running tasks that use a lot of cpu (like xmame).
+mapped_watermark_fix.diff +sc_mw.diff Mapped watermark was released a touch too early and was too aggressive leading to an oom easily. These fix that, make it more efficient and make it possible to properly inactivate it by setting mapped to 0.
+1g_change_config.diff Change the 1Gb lowmem so that the default is off (thanks for suggestion Michael Buesch)
