I would like to have feedback about this VM update, if nobody can find
any serious issue I'd try to push vm-28 into mainline during 2.4.19pre.
Please test oom conditions as well.

Thanks!

Now in mainline.

Rediffed.

Only in 2.4.18rc4aa1: 10_vm-27
Only in 2.4.19pre1aa1: 10_vm-28

Further updates. As soon as I get the confirm this goes well in all the
benchmarks I think it should go into mainline.

Only in 2.4.18rc4aa1: 70_xfs-1.gz
Only in 2.4.19pre1aa1: 70_xfs-2.gz

Drop PG_launder, never really existed in -aa, wait_IO does a
better job (not only for dirty bh submitted by the vm) and wait_IO is
just supported by xfs.
