Hey, I wanted to do something useful at my leisure and created a new kernel. I need your opinion if I should continue working on it.

Positron kernel was designed for normal usage cases (not for servers and latency-critical tasks).

Here's a description:

• Based on latest stable vanilla kernel
• Clear Linux patchset
• Additional compiler optimisations
• Many optimisations by Sultan Alsawaf
• srandom - a super fast PRNG (passes dieharder tests)
• zram deduplication (would be useful for low RAM devices)
• Try to enable fast strings operations on supported CPUs when BIOS doesn't do this itself (happens on some laptops)
