Could we have some doc here? Given MIN_NR_GENS=2 and MAX_NR_GENS=4,
it seems you mean if we have three generations and the youngest pages are more
than 1/2 of the total pages, we need aging?

it seems you mean if the oldest pages are less than 1/4 of the total pages,
we need aging? Can we have comments to explain why here?
your commit message only says " The aging produces young generations.
Given an lruvec, it increments max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1
approaches MIN_NR_GENS." it can't explain what the code is doing
here.
