There are two small things still needed to be done.

1) in a highly unlikely situation (all lru pages are either
   of a 'wrong' zone or unfreeable) shrink_mmap() can get
   into an infinite loop
2) see if the classzone patch has something worthwhile left
   we should merge (I believe we should have most of it by
   now) OR put in the active/inactive/scavenge thing I'm still
   working on now

(I could have finished the active/inactive/scavenge queue thing
a week ago, but I want the code to be obvious, readable and
understandable for the untrained eye ... in the long run I want
all VM code to be easily readable and maintainable, if only so
it's easy to spot and fix bugs when somebody needs to do some
modifications)

regards,

Rik
