Ok, people suggested to split out the change_protection() modification
into a third patch.
This series implements an mprotect() optimization that also
helps improve the quality of working set scanning:
- working set scanning gets faster
- we can scan with a touched-page rate, instead of with a
virtual-memory proportional rate (within limits).
This is already part of numa/core, but wanted to send it out
separately as well, to get specific feedback for the mprotect()
bits.
Thanks,
Ingo
