df78d97503 There is a WIP in perforce //depot/user/eri/pf_ext/... by Ermal Luç. Thus
this is no longer available as SoC project.

5aa6804ebe The text for the on-disk directory indexing idea described the
improvements from the pre-dirhash situation. Make it more accurate
and suggest dynamic memory tuning for dirhash also.

01d420e19a Add kernel reduction for embedded as a separate project from user space
as it's a large and somewhat different task.  Flag as soc-friendly.

000bf9f77e Remark msdos task as soc-friendly for 2008, as the soc2007 task seems
not to have produced significant output.

c4d15192c9 Forced commit to provide more detail for commit message for
ideas.xml:1.38:

The syncer project idea is being removed because the current idea
fails to reflect the high level of complexity and interdependence
with other subsystems, and the specific strategy identified in the
idea is not the consensus view on the way forward.  We will hold a
buffer cache strategy session at the devsummit to try and iron out
a plan forward, and can re-add specific items generated by that
group to the ideas list once agreement is reached on direction.
At this point, any actual coding would be highly premature.

3cb63115c6 Un-tag sysenter support as soc-friendly; the gains on i386 are believed to
be questionable, and this particular project idea seems not to lead to
good SoC proposals (after a year or two of efforts), so leave it where
students can find it, but don't specifically encourage proposals for the
idea.

213fb932f5 Break 'soc' tag out into two different tags, 'soc' for ideas for this year,
and 'soc2007' to reflect ideas still on the list from last year, but that
had owners who made significant headway.  Now we can tag new projects with
'soc' if we think they are particularly student-friendly.

7086b79779 Some updates:
- FireWire is locked now.
 - Doug Rabson is working on a kernel level lockd, sponsored by Isilon.
   The code looks promising, as such remove the lockd entries until we
   can identify if there needs to be a replacement / some help or not.
 - ext2fs with gjournal would be incompatible with Linux, this is not
   desired. Scratch the gjournal part and reword to look out for
   improvements we could obtain from NetBSD.
 - iSCSI is in FreeBSD now.
 - Comment out the sensors framework entry until we have a definitive
   decission regarding the architecture we want to have for FreeBSD.
