The first maintenance release of the 11th version of the reverse
mapping based VM is now available. It fixes agpgart_be and the
OOM killer. Tests on diskless machines are especially appreciated.

This is an attempt at making a more robust and flexible VM
subsystem, while cleaning up a lot of code at the same time.
The patch is available from:

           http://surriel.com/patches/2.4/2.4.17-rmap-11a
and        http://linuxvm.bkbits.net/


My big TODO items for a next release are:
  - fix page_launder() so it doesn't submit the whole
    inactive_dirty list for writeout in one go

Hmm - is this necessarily a bad thing? For local disks, if you tell the 
elevator to give these writes minimal priority (i.e. avoid/minimise impact on 
other disk usage), writing out nice big chunks sounds like a good thing...
