hm. You get an eGrump for sending two patchs in one email. Surprisingly
nice numbers though.

How come vm_swappiness gets squared? That's the mysterious "bias

Please define this new term "application pages"?

Those si_swapinfo() and si_meminfo() calls need to come out of there.

A diff against Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt will be needed sometime,
