482. kernel 3.10.2 with CK patch

NOTE: the 304.88 nvidia kernel modules DO NOT BUILD on this kernel. I've also tried 3.10.5 and it also does not work.

NOTE II: I'm getting random slowdowns on my SL410 laptop with intel graphics. Not sure if it's the same issue as this: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/368-slow-mouse-and-keyboard-triggered.html
Once kworker shows up in top everything grinds to a slow crawl.

Nothing odd here. For a list of what questions to expect when going from 3.9 to 3.10, see e.g. http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/468-kernel-310-on-debian.html

The CK patch set supposedly improves desktop performance of the kernel. As it seems like Con doesn't update that page anymore, go directly to the patches: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/3.0/
