3.0.0-ck1

These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity with specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable to any commodity hardware workload.

I dedicate this release to the most unlikely recipient - the republic of Nauru after my recent trip there. (See my blog for why I was there)

Apart from major surgery required to get BFS to play nicely with the 3.0 scheduler changes, the only change from the last -ck release is the reinstatement of the cpu frequency tweaks designed to optimise BFS' performance on the slower frequency changing multicore CPUs by allowing them to speed up easier and harder for them to throttle down.
