2.4.x, patches and latencies

Hi,

Finally I got the my system back to 2.4.12-ac3-ll level latencies and smoothness and it's in fact performing significantly better.

See http://www.pp.song.fi/~visitor/latencytest5/3x256.html for latency results. (Sound driver is OSS 3.9.5f)

Patches used against 2.4.17 are:

- Andre's IDE patch
- Rik's rmap-11b
- Ingo's O(1)-H6
- Andrew's full lowlatency
- My additions to lowlatency

Now I'm quite happy with this!

FWIW, I just built this and did a kernel compile+updatedb+xmms test. Normally (Red Hat's 2.4.7), xmms skips like mad under those circumstances, with this patch it didn't skip at all. And system "feel" is good.

Not scientific numbers, and maybe not all that useful given the huge number of variables in the patch, but I figured I'd throw it out here.

Thanks for putting this patch up, Jussi.
