I'd use _THREAD instead of _TASK, but I'd also wait for Balbir's input 
because perhaps I missed something in my original analysis that this 
config option represents only the maximum number of concurrent reclaim 
threads and other heuristics are used in addition to this that determine 
the exact number of threads depending on VM strain.
