OK, so you want:

pagecache	nr_requests	hit	mis	
buffercache	nr_requests	hit	mis

I'd like to see a few other statistics as well, mainly for the
pageout code...

- nr pages scannned
- nr pages moved to the inactive_clean list
- nr pages "rescued" from the inactive_clean list
- nr pages evicted
- nr pages deactivated by pageout scanning
- nr pages deactivated by drop-behind

Are there any more ideas for statistics people would like to
see?

regards,

Rik
