2.6.18-rc4-viper1: Ah, Now That Hit The Spot

Viper Sources is pretty much my playground for new patches.

The main goal of this patchset is pretty much the same as E-Mission Sources: to
offer latest features, decrease latencies, decrease overhead, and improve interactivity.  The only difference is
experimental versions of everything.  I boot test each release and run for an extended amount of time.

Re: 2.6.18-rc4-viper1: Ah, Now That Hit The Spot

Viper Sources is pretty much my playground for new patches.

The main goal of this patchset is pretty much the same as E-Mission Sources: to
offer latest features, decrease latencies, decrease overhead, and improve interactivity.  The only difference is experimental versions of everything.  I boot test each release and run for an extended amount of time.

/* Notes */
Alot of changes in this version, I've been in contact with Peter Williams lately, the creater of Plugsched,
he claims that all schedulers are running at or around 100% performance, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Added in latest genpatches, plugsched, iosched fixes rollup, newer lockless, ck desktop patches,
and build fixes.  No extra fixes are needed to use ati-drivers!
