Apart from minor cleanups and syncing with the current kernel, I have removed the default BFQ patch from -ck1 which did not reliably work, though I have changed its default config setting to on along with blk mq scsi default to on which is required to make it work. It will not default to BFQ at boot time.

Enjoy!

Sorry about the delay. I skipped announcing 4.12-ck1 as there was a lingering bug report from pf (thanks for extensive report!) and a config problem in it that rendered it unbootable without extra confg options.

MuQSS 0.160 updates

- Fixed race leading to crash on use of sched_setaffinity.

4.12-ck2 updates

- BFQ is now in mainline so it is no longer part of the patchset.
- BFQ now enabled by default along with scsi multiqueue to enable booting with it by default.
- Enable setting new kyber I/O scheduler as default as well (I recommend people use BFQ though.)
- Removed the mandatory swap_full() flag in the swap sucks patch after reports saying it was unhelpful.

Enjoy!

MuQSS 0.156 updates

- Fixed failed UP builds.

- Remove the last traces of the global run queue data, moving nr_running, nr_uninterruptible and nr_switches to each runqueue. Calculate nr_running accurately at the end of each context switch only once, reusing the variable in place of rq_load. (May improve reported load accuracy.)

4.11-ck2 updates

- Make full preempt default on all arches.

- Revert inappropriately reverted part of vmsplit patch.

Enjoy!

I seem to have unintentionally deleted the -ck1 post, sorry about that.
