2.6.0-test4-mm6

[Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>]

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test4/2.6.0-test4-mm6/


This is only faintly tested.  It's mainly a syncup with people..

. Initial support for kgdb-over-ethernet.  Mainly from Robert Walsh, based
  on work by San Mehat.

  It's pretty simple to use - read Documentation/i386/kgdb/kgdbeth.txt
  carefully.

  This uses the same ethernet driver hooks as netconsole, and is designed
  to work alongside netconsole.

  Currently it "supports" e100, eepro100, 3c59x, tlan and tulip.  Only e100
  has been tested.

. More preparation for the larger dev_t, from Al.

. Dropped out Nick's CPU scheduler changes, brought back Con's interactivity
  work.

  We didn't get many reports from this in -mm5.  I'd prefer to stick with
  Con's patches because they're tweaks, rather than fundamental changes and
  they have had more testing and are more widely understood.

  But the performance regressions with specjbb and volanomark are a
  problem.  We need to understand this and get it fixed up.

. The dev_t changes broke the feral driver.  The version in -mm is
  fairly out of date anyway and I probably need to drop it or get a fresh
  version from James..
