2) failure of inorder lru
For test, it isolated 375756 pages. Only 45875 pages(12%) are put backed to
out-of-order(ie, head of LRU) Others, 329963 pages(88%) are put backed to in-order
(ie, position of old page in LRU).
I'm getting more and more worried about how complex MM is becoming and
this patchset doesn't take us in a helpful direction :(

But it's hard to argue with numbers like that.  Please respin patches 6-10?
