I see your point and ok we can do that.
Also the pages inserted to the lru should all have the referenced bit
clear and we're getting that wrong right now. I did a patch in my ftp area
the try to fix that (it's called pagecache-aging-1). However also the
buffer cache should clear the referenced bit while adding pages to the
buffer cache while recycling from the freelist (and it's not yet doing
that).
