Well, here is the current patch against 2.6.5-mm6. -mm is
different enough from -linus now that it is not 100% trivial
to patch (mainly the rmap and hugepages work).

Marc if you could test this it would be great. I've been doing
very swap heavy tests for the last 24 hours on a SMP system
here, so it should be fairly stable.

It replaces /proc/sys/vm/swappiness with
/proc/sys/vm/mapped_page_cost, which is in units of unmapped
pages. I have found 8 to be pretty good, so that is the
default. Higher makes it less likely to evict mapped pages.

Nick
