    Still thinking about it. We're reverting quite a lot of material
    lately.
    mm-revert-mm-vmscan-scale-number-of-pages-reclaimed-by-reclaim-compaction-based-on-failures.patch
    and revert-mm-fix-up-zone-present-pages.patch are queued for 3.7.

    I'll toss this one in there as well, but I can't say I'm feeling
    terribly confident. How is Valdis's machine nowadays?
