Sure, but at the time Jeff Bonwick chose it, it had no meaning in
computer science or operating system design.  Whatever name is chosen,
we'll get used to it.  I don't even care what name it is.

I want "short" because it ends up used everywhere.  I don't want to
be typing
	lock_hippopotamus(hippopotamus);

and I want greppable so it's not confused with something somebody else
has already used as an identifier.

Can you live with pageset?

Pagesets already exist in the page allocator internals. Yeah, could be
renamed as it's not visible outside.

Should have read the rest of thread before replying.

Maybe in the spirit of the discussion we could call it pageshed?
