ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.65/2.5.65-mm1/ . An updated version of Russell's PCMCIA patches . Lots more anticipatory scheduler work. . It turns out that calling disk request_fns from timer/tasklet context is not permitted because a few old drivers like to sleep in that function. keventd cannot be used for this because it can deadlock. So another kernel thread per CPU has been reluctantly added.
