Subject: [PATCH RFC] mm: reverse lru scanning order

LRU scanning order was accidentially changed in commit v2.6.27-5584-gb69408e:
"vmscan: Use an indexed array for LRU variables".
Before that commit reclaimer always scan active lists first.

This patch just reverse it back.
This is just notice and question: "Does it affect something?"
