This patch was sent to fix another issue that was brought up at Linux
Storage, Filesystem, and MM workshop. I did bring up this issue with
Mel Gorman while at LSF/MM, and as a result, tThe mm folks are going
to look into making mark_page_accessed() do the right thing, or
perhaps provide us with new interface. The problem with forcing the
page to be marked as activated is this would cause a TLB flush, which
would be pointless since this these buddy bitmap pages aren't actually
mapped in anywhere.
