I posted 6 patches (1/4,2/4,3/4,4/4,5/4,6/4), they should be all
applied to mainline, they're self contained. They add the userspace
ratings too.

Those patches fixes a longstanding PF_MEMDIE race too and they optimize
used_math as well.

I'm running with all 6 patches applied with an uptime of 6 days on SMP
and no problems at all. They're all 6 patches applied to the kotd too
(plus the other bits posted on l-k as well for the write throttling,
just one bit is still missing but I'll add it soon):
