Re: seeking patch personality list

OK, here's what I was able to get.


ck - desktop-tuned stable kernel

       A stable 2.4 based patchset with a focus on performance tweaks
       to the scheduler and vm, with specific tuning for the desktop
       to improve system responsiveness.

       (quoted from Con Kolivas <kernel@kolivas.org>)


osdl - Open Source Development Lab's exciting feature patch 

       For data center or carrier grade linux, tuning especially for
       large machines and high database performance.

       (based on comments from Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>)


cgl - ?


rmap - reverse mapping-based VM patch

       Rmap has a reverse mapping from page frames to virtual mappings
       mostly in order to make a more predictable VM, to get rid of
       some worst case VM behaviours and smooth things out.

       The reverse mappings provide infrastructure to make a more
       flexible VM possible ... which means that VM strategies in
       -rmap often change.
