Re: ARM kernel snapshots - 2.6.30-rc8

Hi,

I have tried this kernel and it's boot without problem. I'm very
surprising by the new performance of my hard disks, it's really faster.

Performance with 2.6.29 :

(raid5) Timing buffered disk reads:46 MB in 3.00 seconds =  15.31 MB/sec
(raid10)Timing buffered disk reads:36 MB in 3.08 seconds =  11.68 MB/sec

Performance with 2.6.30-rc8 :

(raid5) Timing buffered disk reads:110 MB in 3.05 seconds = 36.08 MB/sec
(raid10)Timing buffered disk reads:96 MB in 3.01 seconds =  31.86 MB/sec

It's a very good news, but what is changed for this result ? I use
IOP32x with a machine Lanner EM7210 (not exactly, but...).

Thank you for this kernel :)
