Rik's drop behind stuff
presented a general mechanism for doing drop_behind, that actually generalized, instead of being a special case hack?
Still, great work! I'm compiling as I write...

Actually it's still a little bit special case, since readahead (and drop behind) is only done on a filedescriptor level and not on the VMA level.
OTOH, I've heard rumours that Ben LaHaise is moving readahead to the VMA level. When that is done my drop-behind code will automagically work for mmap() and swap too...
regards,
Rik
