Hrm BUG..

This version appears to work fine with the pages being added to the tail of
the LRU, however there's a problem with the custom lru_cache_add_tail
function. I end up hitting a bug at:
if (!TestClearPageLRU(page))
BUG();

in isolate_lru_pages called from shrink_zone, find_busiest_group,
shrink_slab... ultimately from kswapd.

Just looking at the lru_cache_add function I note that my lru_cache_add_tail
function is missing a page_cache_get on the page before adding it to the LRU.
I'm guessing this is wrong.

Cheers,
Con

P.S. Sorry if this thread is getting long winded; there's a record amount of
noise on lkml already :(
