* Prepared and sent out deferrable timers support for timerfd API. Timefd was chosen because it's somewhat less standard (unlike posix timers), plus timerfd is less tied to the hrtimers infrastructure. http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/2/4 ; so far no feedback.
* Started working on shrinker notifications for vmevent, this is the second part to make two-stage notifications for ulmkd (i.e. infrequent/slow polling of vmstat + faster reaction for conditions when the system is really short on memory.)
