    kernel - Fix longstanding VM long-duration stall issues (2)
    
    * Refactor the pageout daemon's hysteresis, in particular the
      free page queue had no real hysteressis and could cause excessive
      pagedaemon wakeups.
    
      Use a calculation that maintains a free page queue about half the
      size of the minimum cache queue, giving us pretty good pipelining
      when a system is under constant memory pressure.
    
    * Add a sysctl for monitoring ppwakeups (wakeups of processes waiting
      for memory).
