for over 24hours with no evidence of problems with kswapd"

Now waiting for results from Jiri, Zdenek and Bruno...

I have been running 3.7.0-0.rc7.git1.2.van.main.knurd.kswap.4.fc18.i686.PAE a bit over 23 hours and kswapd has accumalated one minute 8 seconds of CPU time. I did several yum operations during that time and didn't see kswapd spike to 90+% CPU usage as I had seen in the past. With some kernels I wasn't reliably triggering the kswapd issue, so it may not be long enough to know for sure that the problem is fixed.

I am now at a bit over 2 and 1/2 days with kswapd having used 1 minute 53 seconds of CPU time.
