Hmmm, before I make any silly mumblings, would you mind [re]sending a copy
of your patch to linux-mm?  (I've misplaced the copy I had, and linuxhq's
kernel archive isn't searchable right now.)  Linus probably won't want to
integrate them for 2.2, but perhaps we can start maintaining a set of
patches reasonably 'in sync' until 2.3 when they could be integrated. 
Hopefully that way they we can get people to provide a reasonable amount
of testing to the code. 

Which reminds me: Stephen, what's the state of your irq and smp patches
for page cache addition/removal.  I'm getting a bit more free time now, so
perhaps I can play with them a bit (maybe we should have a common cvs
tree...).
