Subject: [RFC][PATCH 02/13] mm/vmscan: move RECLAIM* bits to uapi header


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

It is currently not obvious that the RECLAIM_* bits are part of the
uapi since they are defined in vmscan.c.  Move them to a uapi header
to make it obvious.

This should have no functional impact.
