I've been testing this patch since it was applied, and it certainly 
fixes the kswapd craziness issue, good work Johannes!

But, it's still not perfect yet, because I see that the system keeps 
lots of memory unused (free), where it previously used it all for the 
page cache (there's enough fs activity to warrant it).

I'm now testing the last piece of Johannes' changes (still not in git 
tree), and can report results in 24-48 hours.
