zap_pte_range already avoids wasting time to mark_page_accessed on anon pages:
it can also skip anon set_page_dirty - the page only needs to be marked dirty
if shared with another mm, but that will say pte_dirty too.

My latency breaking in copy_pte_range didn't work as intended: instead of
checking at regularish intervals, after the first interval it checked every
time around the loop, too impatient to be preempted.  Fix that.

Martin Hicks' page cache reclaim patch added the 'may_swap' flag to the
scan_control struct; and modified shrink_list() not to add anon pages to
the swap cache if may_swap is not asserted.

Ref:  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111461480725322&w=4

However, further down, if the page is mapped, shrink_list() calls
try_to_unmap() which will call try_to_unmap_one() via try_to_unmap_anon ().
 try_to_unmap_one() will BUG_ON() an anon page that is NOT in the swap
cache.  Martin says he never encountered this path in his testing, but
agrees that it might happen.

This patch modifies shrink_list() to skip anon pages that are not already
in the swap cache when !may_swap, rather than just not adding them to the
cache.

Over 100+ runs for a workload, the difference in mean is about 2%.  The best

It turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only
enforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page
fault.  This patch approximates that, without adding an additional flag to the
mm_struct, by checking whether the mm->mmap_sem is held for reading, like the
page fault code does.

This patch has the effect of automatically, and gradually, disabling the
enforcement of the swap token when there is little or no paging going on, and
"turning up" the intensity of the swap token code the more the task holding
the token is thrashing.

Thanks to Song Jiang for pointing out this aspect of the token based thrashing
control concept.

The new code shows a slight degradation over the old swap token code, but
still a big win over running without the swap token.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Since vmlinux.lds.S is preprocessed, we can use the defines already
present in asm/memory.h (allowed by patch #3060) for the XIP kernel link
address instead of relying on a duplicated Makefile hardcoded value, and
also get rid of its dependency on awk to handle it at the same time.

While at it let's clean XIP stuff even further and make things clearer
in head.S with a nice code reduction.

CFE 1.2.5 and earlier fails to turn on the ExpMemEn bit in the
PCIFeatureControl register, which means that DMA does not work
beyond physical address 01_0000_0000, ergo to DRAM beyond 1GB.
    
With ExpMemEn turned on, 01_0000_0000-0f_ffff_ffff is mapped,
so DMA works for up to 61 GB of DRAM.
    
Will be fixed in CFE 1.2.6 (yet to be released).
