Kernel 3.14.10 for ROSA 2012 2012.1 2014.1 OMV2013 2014 2015

Kernel 3.14.10 for ROSA 2012lts, rosa2012.1, omv2013.0, omv2014.0, rosa2014.1 and cooker (omv2015.0)
Kernel 3.14 finally arrives in its complex nrj & nrjQL flavours, for ROSA and OpenMandriva Linux OSes!

This is the second version of "nrj/nrjQL" 3.14.x, it can be considered complete and stable enough.

Kernel 3.14.10 - http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/kern ... 75003.html
Since the release 3.14.6 we are using the new major version of BFQ v7r5

Hi,
here is a first good side effect of our effort for getting bfq merged into mainline :)
Two developers reported a regression with two git tasks, which gave us the opportunity to further improve throughput boosting with the workloads generated by these tasks. The result is this v7r5.
  • IMPROVEMENT: Improve throughput boosting by idling the device
    only for processes that, in addition to perform sequential I/O,
    are I/O-bound (apart from weight-raised queues, for which idling
    is always performed to guarantee them a low latency).
  • IMPROVEMENT: Improve throughput boosting by depriving processes
    that cooperate often of weight-raising.
  • CODE IMPROVEMENT: Pass of improvement of the readability of both
    comments and actual code.

We have noticed that Kernel 3.14 did not work with the VMWare virtualization:
we prepared an unofficial solutiion that has been full tested on ROSA Fresh R3
