If I am going to break code that is in mainline (like the Android low
memory killer is) by moving a member of a data structure, then I'd like to
provide a fix for it so that it works after my change. I'll leave the
merging to Andrew and Greg and if they'd prefer I do this patch in two
parts, that's fine by me as long as they merge them at the same time. I
thought since this code is mainline that it would be easier to go through
in one series.
