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.

Bligh I broke preempt somehow, temporarily disable it to stop accidents + sched_idle Martin J. Bligh Call load_balance with proper idle flag (pointed out by John Hawkes) + diskstats Rick Lindsley Make disk stats available in /proc so they scale to lotsa disks. + cs46xx_lib Martin J. Bligh Fix silly compiler warning in cs46xx_lib
