The patch is malformed in line 11, the last line, and wouldn't apply, so I did 
it by hand to both 2.6.21.1-sd-0.48, and to 2.6.21.1-cfs-v10, but for my 
particular problem, had no effect one way or the other for either scheduler 
version on the performance, which sucks badly and wastes cpu cycles by the 
billions according to top.

What specifically am I to see in /sys/bus/usb if it worked with my pair of 
ftdi adaptors?
