vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction is enabled
...
This is plausible since the issue seems to be in the kswapd + compaction
realm. I've yet to figure out exactly what about this commit results in
kswapd spinning.
I would be interested if someone can confirm this finding.

On my system 3.7-rc4 the problem seems to be effectively solved by
revert patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/308
Ok, while there is still a question on whether it's enough I think it's
sensible to at least start with the obvious one.
Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe kswapd0
spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before - but still it
easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox or TB (memory hungry
apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart those apps again.
(And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)
