I assumed you wanted me to put Krzysztof's patch on top of the
one supplied by Benjamin? Well if that's the case, it didn't help :(
On the second bonnie run when X got jerky & the disk began to swap
heavily one of those messages popped up again.
Next, I will try the patch from Gadi. Let me know if you wanted me
to apply Krzysztof's patch on a clean pre6 kernel, in which case I
will test that too.
Btw, I stopped playing with the freepages settings (since they didn't
make the behaviour disappear), all my latest reports are using kernel
defaults.
