   * The main aim here is to lower them aggressively if there is a lot of mapped

   * pages.  It is better to clamp down on writers than to start swapping, and
   * performing lots of scanning.
   *
   * We only allow 1/2 of the currently-unmapped memory to be dirtied.
   *
   * We don't permit the clamping level to fall below 5% - that is getting rather
   * excessive.
   *
   * We make sure that the background writeout level is below the adjusted

   * Called early on to tune the page writeback dirty limits.
   *
   * We used to scale dirty pages according to how total memory
   * related to pages that could be allocated for buffers (by
   * comparing nr_free_buffer_pages() to vm_total_pages.
   *
   * However, that was when we used "dirty_ratio" to scale with
   * all memory, and we don't do that any more. "dirty_ratio"
   * is now applied to total non-HIGHPAGE memory (by subtracting
   * totalhigh_pages from vm_total_pages), and as such we can't
   * get into the old insane situation any more where we had
   * large amounts of dirty pages compared to a small amount of
   * non-HIGHMEM memory.
   *
   * But we might still want to scale the dirty_ratio by how
   * much memory the box has..
