Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] Make the Unevictable LRU available on NOMMU

Hi, David.

It seems your patch is better than mine.  Thanks. :)
But my concern is that as Peter pointed out, unevictable lru's
solution is not fundamental one.

He want to remove ramfs page from lru list to begin with.
I guess Andrew also thought same thing with Peter.

I think it's a fundamental solution. but it may be long term solution.
This patch can solve NOMMU problem in current status.

Andrew, What do you think about it ?
