ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.5/2.5.68/2.5.68-mm3/

Bits and pieces. Nothing major, apart from the dynamic request allocation
patch. This arbitrarily increases the maximum requests/queue to 1024, and
could well make large (and usually bad) changes to various benchmarks.
However some will be helped.
