adventurous FC2 users can test the bleeding ATrpms kernels at

http://ATrpms.net/name/kernel-experimental/

(to be moved to .../kernel-testing/ during the day).

They are based on FC's 499 or 501 kernels that have the voluntary
preemption patch in, but are 8kstack kernels.

I am using these kernels on a non-myth laptop. No real subjective
difference, but YMMV.
