[PATCH 6/7] CART - an advanced page replacement policy

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: cart-use-once.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5091 bytes --]

This patch started live as a rework of the use-once code by
Rik van Riel. I (ab)used it to remove the use-once code.
