  - Implemented the "runq" command for 2.6.20 and later kernels that have
    replaced the O(1) scheduler with the CFS scheduler.  If the kernel
    was configured to use CFS, the command will display the tasks queued
    in each cpu's RT and CFS runqueues.  (anderson at redhat.com)

  - The initial support put in place for the usage of "kerntypes"
    debuginfo files only recognized files created by the LKCD
    "dwarfextract" utility run against a -g built vmlinux kernel.
    This version adds a new "-k" command line option that allows the
    usage of standard -g compiled LKCD Kerntypes files.

  - Update of "xencrash" support to properly handle dom0/hypervisor
    kdumps taken under xen version 3.1 in addition to those taken under
    xen 3.0.x.  Without this patch, the following warning message
    would be displayed during initialization of a xen-syms hypervisor
    session: "WARNING: unsupported elf note format".  Fixes x86 "bt"
    command segmentation violation when running against a xen-syms
    hypervisor.  Fixes x86_64 session initialization failure when running
    against a xen-syms hypervisor, which would display the error
    message "crash: invalid structure member offset: tss_struct_rsp0".
