[Anton Vorontsov]

== Highlights ==
* Prepared some new features for vmevent:
  - a new low-memory blended attribute. This is used to wisely account
    page cache. The feature triggered a big discussion, so we might
    end up with something different as the discussion is still ongoing;
  - 'equal-to' attribute state (this is merged already);
* Never-ending discussion on memcg and vmevents memory notifications
  continued;
* ram_console feature seemed quite interesting, so I started looking
  more closely into it. Based on previous lkml discussions, it appears
  that the main obstacle is that we should use pstore. So, as a warm-up
  I started porting ramoops (which uses pstore in -next tree) driver to
  use persistent_ram. That would be a good reason to move
  persistent_ram out of staging/.
* v3.4 is approaching rc7 (or final), so I had to dedicate some time
  for a pile of battery patches collected in my 'todo' mailbox.

== Plans ==
* Pekka asked to look into improving LT/GT/EQ handling in vmevent, make
  it table-based may be;
* I was quite reluctant to getting my hands dirty into the cpufreq as
  nobody likes it, and thus I'm risking to get involved into another
  never-ending story, plus after refreshing Android git tree I noticed
  that Android guys are actively hacking it at this precise moment. So,
  to not step on each others' toes, I finally decided I'd better work
  on something else, thus I picked ram_console and friends.
