Each task is going to take more than 2 pages. There's

Only show deviecs when then swap_map is been allocated
to avoid oops during swapon. Fix from

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2/30_tux: 30_atomic-lookup-4

Only in 2.4.6pre3aa2: 40_experimental/40_blkdev-pagecache-3

Optional patch to apply to move the blkdev from buffercache to
pagecache. At the moment this breaks the ramdisk and in turn initrd.
Read the 40_experimental/README for more details. Like the tux patches
this one is not included into the global diff (2.4.6pre3aa2.{gz,bz2}).
