Then where is it? It would be great to test and it
would make an excellent link with description for
the Linux MM homepage...
Besides, I'm currently somewhat memory starved and
I would really like to test and possibly improve
or integrate this piece of code with the main kernel.
I know it's too late for inclusion now, but I'm willing
to keep the patch up-to-date with the kernel up to the
date of inclusion.
Rik.
