Looks good apart from one passage (which just vanished when I tried to
reply, please post patches as inline text).
It was the portion that modifies shrink_active_list. Why operate
on the pagevec there? The pagevec only contains the leftovers to be
released from scanning over the temporary inactive list.
Why? Because the pages that were not referenced will be
going onto the inactive list and are now a candidate for
swapping out. I don't see why we would want to reclaim
the swap space for pages that area about to be swapped
out again.
