I'll start a 5-day test of this patchset in a few hours, unless you can
send an updated one in the meantime. I intend to test it on a rather
boring 4GB x86_64 machine that before Johannes' work had lots of trouble
balancing zones. Would you recommend to use the default settings, i.e.
don't mess with tunables at this point?
