- A big ppc64 update from Anton

- Added Nick's CPU scheduler patches for hyperthreaded/SMT CPUs.  This work
  needs lots of testing and review from those who care about and work upon
  this feature, please.

- An I/O scheduler tuning patch.  This is the 114th patch against the
  anticipatory scheduler and we're nearly finished, honest.  Now would be a
  good time for people to run the appropriate benchmarks.

  We're still not as good as deadline on some seeky loads, and deep SCSI
  TCQ still hurts a lot.  But it is looking good on average.

- Plenty of other random stuff

I am still getting lock-ups on my system (nForce2 w/ Athlon XP 2500+).
I am currently stuck at 2.6.1-rc1-mm1.  If there is anything I can do
to help track down the problem I would be happy to help, I just need
some  pointers on where to start.
