but rather to get 2.1 working properly so that it can become 2.2. Solving the remaining memory issues, especially wrt fragmentation, is a major part of this.
I think people with 8MB of ram will need to perform some tuning with sysctl variables no matter what we do at this point. And as such, a person with an 8MB machine can just simply disable the pgtable cache entirely. And this is what I recommend we do instead of trying to contort the liberation scheme to be "maybe a little nicer".
