Comments on the following set of patches?

1) Add a removepage operation to the address_space_operations which
   simplifies the size checking heavily. This is not strictly needed.
2) Add a ramfs(2) incorporation to shmem.c which disables the swapping
   and does not allocate the swap vector for shmem.c files.

We would gain a full ramfs with size checking, error checking and
correct time stamping with a very small change.
