- Merged some page reclaim fixes from Nick and Nikita. These yield some
performance improvements in low memory and heavy paging situations.



Nikita's vm-dont-rotate-active-list.patch still has this:

+/* dummy pages used to scan active lists */
+static struct page scan_pages[MAX_NUMNODES][MAX_NR_ZONES];
+

Which probably needs its nodes and cachelines untangled.
Maybe it doesn't - I really don't know.
