Hi Linus,

I have some test results on 2.1.91pre2 now. With my patch,
it's a tad agressive, but _extremely_ fast with swapping.
I think it would be wise to reduce the number of tries by
a factor, as in:

-	tries = (50 << 3) >> free_memory_available(3);
+	tries = (50 << 2) >> free_memory_available(3);

The clustered swapout-from-application seems to work fabulously,
since the program moves the disk arm less then it used to.

Rik.
