Added: +adaptive-readahead-4.patch We Fengguang's adaptive readahead patch. Please test and report experiences - Wu has been cc'ed on this email, please keep him cc'ed for reports.
+set_workqueue_nice-1.patch Add a function to set workqueue nice levels
+dm-drop_kcryptd_prio.patch Use the above function to set kcryptd priority to nice 0 since kcryptd consumes massive amounts of cpu. This code is safe but I don't even know if it's successfully changing priority yet.
