linux-5.0-ck1, MuQSS version 0.190 for linux-5.0

Announcing a new -ck release, 5.0-ck1  with the latest version of the Multiple Queue Skiplist Scheduler, version 0.190. These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity with specific emphasis on the desktop, but configurable for any workload.

This is mostly a resync from 4.20-ck1 with a minor tweak to CPU ordering for slightly better throughput. Note that BFQ and I/O schedulers have nothing to do with MuQSS or any of the -ck code so the changes to I/O schedulers in mainline are of no consequence.

Enjoy!

In addition to a resync from 4.19-ck1 I've extended the runqueue sharing options to all CPUs as well, meaning it can be used in NUMA hardware as a single runqueue if desired.

Merry Christmas, and have a happy new year everyone. May your new year be filled with good health, stable kernels, and more bitcoin adoption and value.

Enjoy!

In addition to a resync from 4.18-ck1, there are a number of minor accounting fixes, and I've since dropped BFQ being enabled by default. I've been less than impressed with its latency over the last two kernel releases, and recommend people use another I/O scheduler.

EDIT: Apparently patch 0008 has one hunk that is out of place. It still should work fine even if this fails to apply. I don't know why git was happy with that part of the patch...

Enjoy!

EDIT: It turns out it won't build with full dynticks enabled. I've committed a small change to the respective git trees for anyone who wants to configure it that way (I'd usually recommend against it.)
