It's okay on mm-compaction-compact-unevictable-pages.patch.
On mm-compaction-accounting-fix.patch, we still need it but I need to
change title as Mel commented out and I will send further patche which
changes stat names(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/2/3) with it. So let's
drop it all.
I will resend further patches after rc-1.

Thanks, Andrew.
