Yeah sorry.  They're queued up in a special branch atm, but will be
part of my initial 2.6.37 merge request pull.  They're not going into
2.6.36 because they're a bit too invasive for this late in the process.

I don't *think* they'll cause problems (ultimately they should make us
behave a bit more like Windows as far as resource allocation goes) so
hopefully a merge into stable sometime after the 2.6.37 merge window
closes won't be a problem, but you probably don't have a nice way of
automating that...

Thanks,
