Good point, I didn't even think of that.  Thanks!

Andrew, could you please replace this patch with the following?

Subject: [patch] mm: vmscan: clean up struct scan_control

Reorder the members by input and output, then turn the individual
integers for may_writepage, may_unmap, may_swap, compaction_ready,
hibernation_mode into bit fields to save stack space:

+72/-296 -224
kswapd                                       104     176     +72
try_to_free_pages                             80      56     -24
try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages                  80      56     -24
shrink_all_memory                             88      64     -24
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list                168     144     -24
mem_cgroup_shrink_node_zone                  104      80     -24
__zone_reclaim                               176     152     -24
balance_pgdat                                152       -    -152
