[ltp] Improve Linux, win Thinkpads

[Dax Kelson]

IBM is giving away 20 Thinkpads for solutions to various "Linux
challenges".

http://www.developer.ibm.com/university/students/contests/linux/

Some examples:

3). Challenge: Improve boot time on a Linux Thinkpad. 

Detailed Description of the Challenge: 

Reduce boot time on a Thinkpad, from power-on to multi-user login
(either runlevel 3 or 5), by at least 50%, compared to a stock system
installed with the same packages. The same services must be offered, but
they may of course be started asynchronously as dependencies allow.
Modification should be transparent to a system administrator, that is
any upgrades (ie chkconfig) should be backward compatible. 

4). Challenge: 

Provide support for additional hardware accelerated 3D cards supported
under DRI. 

Prereq: (Hardware, Software, etc.) 3D Hardware 

5). Challenge: Tune Mesa for PowerPC / AltiVec. Currently, Mesa only
contains processor specific optimizations for SPARC and x86.
