In fact I agree, but there's a catch.  The way in which TuxOnIce operates LRU
pages is based on some assumptions that may or may not be satisfied in future,
so if we decide to merge it, then we'll have to make sure these assumptions
will be satisfied.  That in turn is going to require quite some discussion I
guess.

We'll see how the things work out.

Thanks,
