Personally I don't think they should be merged, even as and when it becomes completely stable (no distortion in calls etc). This kernel can never be "mainline" for obvious reasons, and most people will generally prefer to go with power (which uses CFS, cgroups and so forth) simply because it closer resembles the stock 2.6.28(.10) kernel. However, that said, the BFS kernel does contain all of the patches merged into the power kernel to date, and several others that I've backported, including the latest BFQ scheduler so you're getting the best of both worlds..

Sorry about the multiboot problem. I personally don't know about its nuances as I don't use it, so I wasn't aware this would be an issue. Could people please test out the BFQ scheduler (echo bfq > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler) and let me know of any kernel crashes? Typically, a short time after posting the newest version, I had another one related to swap. I've since disabled the final patch of the v2 r1 series, which delays writes if there are fewer than 32 sectors, in the hope that this was the cause (it may be also because I still had remnants of the swap prefetch patch included in the kernel I was running - this isn't present in the images I posted - but I doubt that).
