the biggest change is a patch from Andrew Morton that will give priority
to reads in the presence of heavy write loads; since reads in general
are things the user waits on while writes are generally asynchronous,
this is a very interesting optimisation

In addition some constants used in the elevator about how agressive it
can reorder have been tuned towards more interactive performance (at the
cost of raw throughput/performance)
