[Arghhhh, this time with patch ;)]
-------
Hi,

Here is a WORKING version of the deferred swapping & page aging
patch for 2.4.0-test1.

The patch implements:
- deferred IO for pageout
- rudimentary page aging, a start of what we want
  for when we have an active list later

TODO:
- deferred swapping for other IO (file, shm)
- page aging for all pages
- inactive / laundry / cache queues
- ...

regards,

Rik
