Changes: Added: +vm-swap_prefetch-2.patch As mentioned many times already, this code prefetches ram that has been swapped out during idle periods. This is the latest version of the patch and is a config option. +sched-staircase12_tweak.patch The interactivity tweak which was isolated to the developmental 2.6.13-ck1+ patch seemed not to bring problems with the changes bringing staircase up to v12 so it has been incorporated.
