page_add/remove_rmap.  Be interesting to test an Alan kernel too.

The swapping fix in -mm1 may help here.

Don't know.  Was this with IO load against the same disk as
the one on which the kernel was being compiled, or a different
one?  This is a very important factor - one way we're testing the
VM and the other way we're testing the IO scheduler.

If the IO load was against the same disk 2.5 _should_ have sucked,
due to the writes-starves-reads problem which we're working on.  So
I assume it was against a different disk.  In which case 2.5 should not
have shown these improvements, because all the fixes for this are still
in -mm.  hm.  Helpful, aren't I?
