Not in general, only for particular loads. On average this is okay. It is 
consistent to age the whole block and not just a part of it.

One possible solution to this is address_space based reclaim, something
which might also be beneficial for containers.

Stoopp!

This patchseries is entirely unacceptable!

one patch per file is the most braindead and most unacceptable way
to split a series.  Please stop whatever you're doing right now and
correct it and send out a patch that has one patch per logical change
for the whole tree.  This means people can actually read the patch,
and it's bisectable.
