~swap prefetch

[snip]

Put me and the users out of our misery and merge it now

[snip]

For the record; it merges, builds, and runs cleanly on x86_64 vanilla+CFS provided sched-add_above_background_load is also merged (you need the old one that adds an inline to sched.h, not the new one that depends on SD-isms).  I believe that is already merged with -mm anyway.

I'd also be interested to see if there is a better way of doing what above_background_load() does with CFS, I think v18 added some functionality along these lines...

We all know swap prefetch has been tested out the wazoo since Moses was a little boy, is compile-time and runtime selectable, and gives an important and quantifiable performance increase to desktop systems.  Save a Redhat employee some time reinventing the wheel and just merge it.  This wheel already has dope 21" rims, homes
