I will use something like this in the active/inactive queue
thing. The major differences will be that:
- we won't be reclaiming memory in the first queue
  (only from the inactive queue)
- we'll try to keep a minimum number of active and
  inactive pages in every zone
- we will probably have a (per pg_dat) self-tuning
  target for the number of inactive pages
