    | No. Fold your all "autoswappiness" stuff directly into the
    | reclaim_mapped calculation that was previously keyed off swappiness.
    | Don't have it modify vm_swappiness at all: work directly on
    | reclaim_mapped.

    Wasn't the point of this patch to allow the machine to tweak the
    swappiness knob itself according to what it thinks is best, unless the
    user tells it not to?
