6MB followup.

Forgot to mention I was running Bill Hawes' memory defrag patch for the 6MB
case, but not the 8MB one. (2.1.109 SMP, same config.)

After putting the new values in freepages, etc, it doesn't have much luck
in defragging anything:

Jul 19 14:31:37 moving kernel: anneal_mem: before defragging: 4 2 0
Jul 19 14:31:37 moving kernel: anneal_mem: after defragging: 4 2 0

Jul 19 14:31:39 moving kernel: anneal_mem: after defragging: 4 2 0

Now it does have success every now and then, but not often. Previous to
the new values, it had great success at packing the memory. Seems to be
overly active also.

During bootup it had luck:

Jul 19 13:54:13 moving kernel: anneal_mem: before defragging: 0 0 0
Jul 19 13:54:13 moving kernel: anneal_mem: after defragging: 0 0 0

Jul 19 13:55:12 moving kernel: anneal_mem: after defragging: 2 1 2
Jul 19 13:55:19 moving kernel: anneal_mem: before defragging: 4 1 1
Jul 19 13:55:21 moving kernel: anneal_mem: after defragging: 8 1 1
Jul 19 13:55:21 moving kernel: anneal_mem: before defragging: 9 0 1
Jul 19 13:55:21 moving kernel: anneal_mem: after defragging: 9 0 1
Jul 19 13:55:21 moving kernel: anneal_mem: before defragging: 9 0 1
Jul 19 13:55:21 moving kernel: anneal_mem: after defragging: 10 0 1

Now to try both defrag and not on 5MB ...
