right, I think it would be easier to read if patches 3 and 4 were
merged. Personal preference, feel free to ignore

comments about missing page_cache_size() covered elsewhere. However, I
note that Dave Kleikamp might be interested in this changing of
page_cache_size() from the perspective of page cache tails. I've added
him to the cc so he can take a quick look.
