2.5.62-mm2

[Andrew Morton <akpm@digeo.com>]

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.62/2.5.62-mm2/

Various little bits and pieces.  Mainly work against the anticipatory
scheduler.

The anticipatory scheduler has been moved into its own file now, and
deadline-iosched is unaltered from 2.5.62 base (apart from a small bugfix).

So this tree has three elevators (apart from the no-op elevator).  You can
select between them via the kernel boot commandline:

	elevator=as
	elevator=cfq
	elevator=deadline

The default is AS.
