Custom 32 bit ubuntu kernel 3.0.3 optimized for atom processors or netbook

I did a build of latest 3.0.3 kernel for my netbook running Ubuntu 11.04 (and my friends netbook who runs Linux Mint 11)

What I did to increase speed?

1. Followed Ubuntu way of building kernel (to know more follow this link)
2. I disabled kernel debugging in kernel configuration
3. Changed to use SLAB instead of SLUB
4. Changed kernel frequency to 300 HZ from 250 HZ
5. Selected processor as Intel Atom
6. Edited main Makefile to append -march=atom -mtune=atom
7. Used PAE and highmem64 to support more than 4 GB

What I did?

I already uploaded the files and shared here.

I restarted and tested it, seems good.

How do I install it ?

Download the three .deb files into a new folder. Enter into the folder and give open in terminal (if you don't have this sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal) and give sudo dpkg -i *.deb

What to do if my driver does not work?

Boot into default Ubuntu kernel

Feeling happy and think it is fast?
