. Lots of bugfixes.

. A big one-liner from Mark Haverkamp fixes some hanges which were being
  seen with the aacraid driver and may fix the problem which people have seen
  on other SCSI drivers: everything getting stuck in io_schedule() under load.

. Another interactivity patch from Con.  Feedback is needed on this
  please - we cannot make much progress on this fairly subjective work
  without lots of people telling us how it is working for them.

I have been testing 2.5.75-mm1.  I was able to cause video skip in xine,
but not audio.  I will repeat the tests using test1-mm1.  Anyone else
seen the video-only type skip?  It appears to be caused by other GUI
operations, not so much by CPU load.  Just dragging windows is not enough,
it needs to be more intensive than that.

More results later with test1-mm1

Thanks for all the great stuff!!

I have been testing interactivity now for for a while.  The only
symptom (subjective) that I can see is occasional but repeatable
(if you get what I mean) video _only_ skips in xine.  The audio
does not skip.  The video skips are very short, only a 4-5 frames
at most.

They occur _only_ when performing such operations as rendering a 
large bitmap to the screen.  They do _not_ occur when dragging
windows (with contents visible during drag,) nor does CPU load
seem to have an effect.

Playing games with nice/renice on xine or on other processes,
especially GIMP etc., does not seem to have an effect.  

>From this it seems to my limited view that the remaining skips
might be XFree86 issues?

Some pertinent details:

2 x P4 Xeon 2.4 Mhz, 512Mb ram.
Radeon VQ + Matrox Mystique.
Premptive kernel
Hyperthreading enabled.
IDE DVD, no SCSI in system.

No problems at all, only minor niggles since 2.5.67.  (I have
been following -mm patches.)

Thanks for the wonderful work!
