Interactivity backport to 2.4.20-ck*

Interactivity backport to 2.4.20-ck*

I've had numerous requests for a backport of the interactivity changes to the 
O(1) scheduler for the -ck* kernels. I have resisted posting my backport 
because people had described real problems with these patches. However it 
seems most, if not all of the problems are related to one patch. 

I've posted a special split out patch 
(001_o1_int_pe_ll_030407_ck_2.4.20.patch) for ck that includes the new 
interactivity changes, with the one patch responsible for problems backed 
out. No desktop tuning patch is supposed to be necessary for this so I've 
removed it from the site.Note that the full -ck4 patch does not include this 
update. I would like some feedback from people using it before I make a more 
substantial update to bring out a -ck5. The patches must be applied manually 
in order as they're desired. I've been using them for a little while without 
any problems.

Why isn't this patch completely backed out from the main O(1) so we can see 
what is new?

Actually, the Makefile hunk in the patch would have one 
believe that it is against -ck3...

It's a simple minipatch against a 2.4.20 patched with the O(1),preempt,low 
latency combination which didn't change in ck4.
