Might I suggest calling it the long_term_pinned list?  It also might
be worth putting ramdisk pages on this list, since they cannot be
written out in response to memory pressure.  This would eliminate the
need for AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE.

They are for the ram filesystem, btw. and I don't think you can eliminate
AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE, because it is needed for a number of reasons (out
of swap space being one).
