Subject: mm: get 7% more pages in a pagevec
We don't have to use an entire 'long' for the number of elements in the
pagevec; we know it's a number between 0 and 14 (now 15). So we can store
it in a char, and then the bool packs next to it and we still have two or
six bytes of padding for more elements in the header. That gives us space
to cram in an extra page.
