Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v1 3/7] mm: multi-gen LRU: section for Bloom filters

Move Bloom filters code into a dedicated section. Improve the design
doc to explain Bloom filter usage and connection between aging and
eviction in their use.

+Bloom Filters
+-------------
+Bloom filters are a space and memory efficient data structure for set
+membership test, i.e., test if an element is not in the set or may be
+in the set.
+
+In the eviction path, specifically, in ``lru_gen_look_around()``, if a
+PMD has a sufficient number of hot pages, its address is placed in the
+filter. In the aging path, set membership means that the PTE range
+will be scanned for young pages.
+
+Note that Bloom filters are probabilistic on set membership. If a test
+is false positive, the cost is an additional scan of a range of PTEs,
+which may yield hot pages anyway. Parameters of the filter itself can
+control the false positive rate in the limit.
+

 The multi-gen LRU can be disassembled into the following parts:
