here is a TODO list for the memory management area of the
Linux kernel, with both trivial things that could be done
for later 2.4 releases and more complex things that really
have to be 2.5 things.

Most of these can be found on http://linux24.sourceforge.net/ too

Trivial stuff:
* VM: better IO clustering for swap (and filesystem) IO
  * Marcelo's swapin/out clustering code

    * Swap space preallocation at try_to_swap_out()

quoted

  * ->writepage() IO clustering support

Hum, IMO this should be in the "2.5" list because 

The non-trivial part of improved IO clustering should be a
2.5 thing indeed, but I'm not convinced there aren't any
trivial things left which can give us a nice improvement
now (and for the whole 2.4 series).

Rik
