Linus & Rik, agreed that the second_scan logic I proposed
earlier was not perfect.
And, I agree that we should make things simpler. One question
about what shrink_mmap is trying to accomplish, conceptually:
In the presense unreferenced pages in zones with free_pages > pages_high,
should shrink_mmap ever fail? Current shrink_mmap will
always skip over the pages of such zones. This in turn
can lead to swapping.
