* Plug and play multiseat

Linux multiseat configurations hold the potential to get the cost per Linux user down to half or less of even the cheapest PCs. But can we make multiseat plug and play?

* Painless kernel - removing the HZ

The scheduler tick must die. The kernel has long had a “tickless” or “nohz” mechanism to shut down the timer tick when not needed, but this mechanism only works when idle, not when running. If every function currently polling from the timer tick could instead make use of an appropriate event, or just wait to get updated until the next time the kernel has work to do, the kernel could become entirely event-driven. An event-driven kernel would improve throughput by decreasing interruptions, improve latency by removing large non-preemptible regions, improve consistency by eliminating the primary source of jitter, and improve power savings by getting done and back to sleep sooner.
