[Request For Testers ... patch below]

Hi,

during my holidays I've written the following patch (forward-ported
to 2.4.6-pre2 and improved a tad today), which implements these
improvements to page_launder():

YMMV, please test it. If it works great for everybody I'd like
to get this improvement merged into the next -pre kernel.

I forgot about vmstat, but this is -ac12, anecdotal evidence - my system
(weak) performs far better under heavy load (mpg123 nice'd to -20 + apt/dpkg
+ gcc), than with vanilla -ac12. To get it to compile on -ac, just hand-hack
in the patch, and s/CAN_GET_IO/can_get_io_locks/ in vmscan.c.

:) d
