Been running with the patch for about 24 hours, haven't seen kcompactd
misbehave.  I even fired up a Chrome with a lot of tabs open, a Firefox, and a
kernel build, intentionally drove the system into swapping, and kcompactd
didn't make it into the top 10 on 'top'.

I'm willing to say put a "tested-by:" on that one,  it looks fixed from here.
If there's any remaining bugs, they're ones I can't seem to trigger...
