from
our own inactive lists because our shrinker can not run whilst we hold
the struct mutex) and this may allow the system to survive a little
longer
whilst our drivers consume all available memory.

Roman, can you give this patch a spin?
Applied to 2.6.33-rc5, stress-test under heavy load, no problem so far.
Looks fine!
Here it works too, thanks!
Roman
