Subject: [PATCH 9/9] free memory is user reclaimable
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 15:17:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43385754.5080704@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4338537E.8070603@austin.ibm.com>

Make the free memory revert to user reclaimable type, which is probably more
accurate, and certainly helpful for memory hotplug remove.
