[PATCH 0/3, v2] mprotect() and working set sampling optimizations

[Ingo Molnar]

Ok, people suggested to split out the change_protection() modification
into a third patch.

This series implements an mprotect() optimization that also
helps improve the quality of working set scanning:

  - working set scanning gets faster

  - we can scan with a touched-page rate, instead of with a
    virtual-memory proportional rate (within limits).

This is already part of numa/core, but wanted to send it out
separately as well, to get specific feedback for the mprotect()
bits.

Thanks,

	Ingo
