* Code removed. In a low-memory situation (say, a
* memory-bound program is running), the last thing you
* do is starve reactivations for other processes.
* XXX we need to find a better way.
* This code is designed to prevent thrashing in a
* low-memory situation by assuming that pages placed
* in the cache are generally inactive, so if a cached
* page is requested and we are low on memory, we try
* to wait for the low-memory condition to be resolved.
*
* This code cannot handle a major memory starvation
* situation where pages are forced into the cache and
* may cause 'good' programs to stall. As of 22Jan99
* the problem is still under discussion and not
* resolved.
