Ok what this patch is for is to see whether we really need to go down this
path. It may be untidy and have dragons but it can be cleaned up and
work with other archs but I just need some feedback by testers to see if it
adds _significant_ benefit that warrants it's addition to the direction I'm
already taking. Unfortunately all the incremental patches I've done seem
to have scared people off :(

Here's a slightly tidier version (also at kernel.kolivas.org/2.5) which
patches against 2.5.75-mm1 that has been patched with O5int.

akpm removed from cc list as it's not interesting for -mm atm
