Variable Order Page Cache Patchset
This patchset modifies the core VM so that higher order page cache pages
become possible. The higher order page cache pages are compound pages
and can be handled in the same way as regular pages.
The order of the pages is determined by the order set up in the
Variable Order Page Cache: Add order field in mapping
Add an order field in the address space structure that
specifies the page order of pages in an address space.
Set the field to zero by default so that filesystems not prepared to

Variable Order Page Cache: Add support to ramfs
The simplest file system to use is ramfs. Add a mount parameter that
specifies the page order of the pages that ramfs should use. If the
order is greater than zero then disable mmap functionality.
This could be removed if the VM would be changes to
Variable Order Page Cache: Account for higher order pages
NR_FILE_PAGES now counts pages of different order. Maybe we need to
