<p>Based on a prototype change from Jeff Roberson, per-domain page

<p>This project aims to improve scalability of the virtual memory
subsystem. Based on a prototype change from Jeff Roberson,
per-domain page queues and per-domain pagedaemon working threads

<p>The patch is relatively simple, with the most delicate parts
being the page laundry and OOM logic, which requires coordination
