Hi David

Could you add the following patch, because it apparently was lost
during the battle :)

Thank you

[PATCH] use SK_MEM_QUANTUM_SHIFT in __sk_mem_reclaim()

Avoid an expensive divide (as done in commit 
18030477e70a826b91608aee40a987bbd368fec6 but lost in commit 
23821d2653111d20e75472c8c5003df1a55309a8)
