Ah, this looks familiar.

So the last version was dropped because of failures - I assume because
Andrew dropped the patch that converted to add_page_to_lru_list() and
nobody accounted the page-putback anymore (and a compiler error due to
referencing the then unexisting pgmoved variable).  And this version
does the accounting itself again, okay.
