Yeah, thought that this is rather odd. But I can't fix it since I don't 
really know the code.

On the other hand do you have any objections that I move the remaining 
io_reserve_lru functionality into Nouveau then?

It's only used by this driver and since Thomas cleaned up the VM 
handling that shouldn't be a problem any more.

Thanks,
Christian.
