There doesn't seem to be any dependency on the PageActive anymore. I do
remember we have relied on the PageActive to move from the active list
to the inactive. This is not the case anymore but I am wondering whether
above is really sufficient. If you are deactivating an inactive page
then I would expect you want to move that page in the LRU as well. In
other words don't you want
if (page_active)
add_page_to_lru_list
else
add_page_to_lru_list_tail
