It's going to take a lot of work to get such extensive reclaim changes landed.
We need to convince ourselves that these changes are the right way to fix <whatever they fix>. We need to review and test the crap out of them. The 64-bit-only thing is a concern. I wonder about whether we've "fixed" anon pages but didn't do anything about file-backed mapped pages. Plus all the other stuff, plus stuff we haven't thought of yet.
It's huge.
