Hmm, page-scan and reclaims jumps up but...

Execution time is reduced. Does this shows removing "I/O noise" by direct
reclaim makes the system happy ? or writeback in direct reclaim give
us too much costs ?
It seems I'll have to consider about avoiding direct-reciam in memcg, later.
BTW, I think we'll have to add wait-for-pages-to-be-cleaned trick in
direct reclaim if we want to avoid too much scanning, later.
Thank you for interesting test.
