The power kernel could definitely use this
If there is going to be a PR1.4 this should be in it.

If it does -anything- about IO-wait(and or compression tasks), I'll be happy. Right now, if you have apt doing it's thing, things near lock up.
The idea here is that multitasking will work a bit better, and it might.
Either way, it can't hurt to try.

To be honest, the proper(TM) fix for that would be for apt to run at nice level of 15. 15 means the lowest possible priority, and 0 is the default priority for applications, thus all other tasks would have priority over apt and it shouldn't bring the system to its knees. You don't need a different scheduler for that.
Of course, it was a hindsight on Nokia's part not to make apt run at nice lvl 15 all the time. One way to get around that would be to simply rename the apt binary to something else and replace it with a script that calls the actual binary but with a proper nice level.
root nice -n 15 apt-get update && nice -n 15 apt-get upgrade

And monitored processes through htop and all of them which are related to apt-get got nice value of 0. What went wrong?
