2.6.17-no5 "IMPORTANT: hi"
Release by: cheater-conrad
APPLIES OVER: 2.6.17-mm2

Will fix just about every problem and such had with the 2.6.17 mm series.
Reiser4 shouldn't corrupt anymore, thanks to the lock validator being dropped.
I changed the way activate_task in migrate_task was done in staircase, a better fix than what was done before.

-{ Background Check }-
No-sources is a kernel patchset based on Andrew Morton's -mm patchset. It contains numerous user-requested features, other
things gathered from various sources, and some of our own items. 
"No-sources was founded during the end of love-source's reign by JasonF and myself. Our intention was to create a 
patchset that would be able to continue on regardless of maintainer and still live in the spirit of -love's original -mm base 
and featureset. Given there have been numerous throughout the release, including different maintainers, but I believe through
this philosophy a useful patchset can continue to be made. " -joecool 

-{ Changelog > 2.6.17-no4 }-
* Downgraded to 2.6.17-mm2 (to lose bugs that aren't being fixed, and arent going to be fixed in .17)
* Hot-fixed 2.6.17-mm2 to the max* (fix the few bugs the kernel did have)
* Dropped unionfs completely. It was having bad pointer errors on -mm2, that weren't worth fixing now.
* re-added a couple hot-fixes dropped from no4 (clock info in timer.c, etc)
* Should perform better too... with less overhead and such.

-{ Suspend2 }-
 - A bug in -mm kernels is unresolved, so suspend2 can not resume. It will be added soon.

-{ NoSched v1.0 }-
Coming soon to a no-sources kernel near you!
* biggest change will be nicksched option (if it works good or not, it'll be there)
* change in maintenance will be staircase as seen in -ck with all those sched iso and idleprio stuff
