Yep. I modified bloat-o-meter to work with stacks (imaginatively calling it
stack-o-meter) and got the following. The prereq patches are from
earlier in the thread with the subjects
vmscan: kill prev_priority completely
vmscan: move priority variable into scan_control
It gets
$ stack-o-meter vmlinux-vanilla vmlinux-1-2patchprereq
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-72 (-72)
function old new delta
kswapd 748 676 -72
and with this patch on top
$ stack-o-meter vmlinux-vanilla vmlinux-2-simplfy-shrink
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-144 (-144)
function old new delta
shrink_zone 1232 1160 -72
kswapd 748 676 -72
X86-32 based config.

I couldn't spot any problems. I'd consider throwing a
WARN_ON(nr_to_scan > SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) in case some future change breaks
the assumptions but otherwise.
