If I am going to break code that is in mainline (like the Android low 
memory killer is) by moving a member of a data structure, then I'd like to 
provide a fix for it so that it works after my change.  I'll leave the 
merging to Andrew and Greg and if they'd prefer I do this patch in two 
parts, that's fine by me as long as they merge them at the same time.  I 
thought since this code is mainline that it would be easier to go through 
in one series.
