I think we should start with the speedups only. Lets get the bitmap code in 2.5.x (ASAP, I'm willing to merge if Oleg is busy) and the file write changes seem to have a little ways to go. I believe the relocation stuff should be tested in andrea's and/or Alan's kernels before we submit for 2.4.21preX. We shouldn't mix must-have speedups with nice to have features (as large as the relocation anyway) in the same 2.4.x series. -chris
