   * Work out the current dirty-memory clamping and background writeout
   * thresholds.
   *
   * The main aim here is to lower them aggressively if there is a lot of mapped
   * memory around.  To avoid stressing page reclaim with lots of unreclaimable
   * 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

  		 *  (a) we account for dirty stats properly
  		 *  (b) we tell the low-level filesystem to
  		 *      mark the whole page dirty if it was
  		 *      dirty in a pagetable. Only to then
  		 *  (c) clean the page again and return 1 to
  		 *      cause the writeback.
  		 *
  		 * This way we avoid all nasty races with the
  		 * dirty bit in multiple places and clearing
  		 * them concurrently from different threads.
  		 *
  		 * Note! Normally the "set_page_dirty(page)"
  		 * has no effect on the actual dirty bit - since
  		 * that will already usually be set. But we
  		 * need the side effects, and it can help us
  		 * avoid races.
  		 *
  		 * We basically use the page "master dirty bit"
  		 * as a serialization point for all the different
  		 * threads doing their things.
