ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test9/2.6.0-test9-mm1 - A couple of fixes for VM memory reclaim. - The ia32 EFI code seems to be complete now. - The recent IO scheduler regressions should be fixed. - Dropped the runtime-selectable-IO-scheduler patches. - A number of fixes to the pagecache readahead code should help seeky workloads such as non-direct-io databases. - Various fixes, mostly minor.
