Where is this vmstat trace?

How can you be sure it's even remotely related if you don't have any
vmstat trace? Also vmstat isn't carrying too much information, it's only
the minimum to be able to debug/guess something.

Just think the ramdisk-oom issue fixed in protected-balance patch, that
was _completly_ unrelated with mmap002 even if it was obviously happening
during dirty-cache pressure too.
