swapin readahead v4 -- first tests

[Rik van Riel <H.H.vanRiel@phys.uu.nl>]

Hi,

I've done some quick tests with v4 of my swapin readahead
patch and the system seems to have stopped loosing memory.

I've been too lazy to test Zlatko's test proggie, but Gimp
with some large images frees all memory correctly so I assume
that things are working properly (there was quite a bit in
swap and it was freed correctly).

I'd really like a few comments on the patch, especially from
Stephen -- who is the expert on the swap cache code. I've
decided to stay out of bed, despite the flu, because I will
need to refill my energy reserves and I simply eat better when
out of bed :)

cheers,

Rik -- the flu hits, the flu hits, the flu hits -- MORE
