    The RSS bits really worry me, since it looks like they could
    exacerbate the scalability problems that we are already running
    into on very large memory systems.

    Linux is *not* happy on 256GB systems. Even on some 32GB systems
    the swappiness setting *needs* to be tweaked before Linux will even
    run in a reasonable way.

    Pageout scanning needs to be more efficient, not less. The RSS
    bits are worrysome...
