The change in fs/dcache.c does not look very well because
as higher the number given to prune_dache in shrink_dcache_memory
as more the dcache is pruned ... `0' isn't that good is it?

Werner, have you given it a shot?  With this fix in place, the
dcache/inode fragmentation issues in 2.1 are very dramatically improved
on low memory.  I'm very pleased indeed with this patch: even if it's
only prune_dcache(0), it is still being called much more often when we
get short of memory.
