30This is a collection of unsorted documents about the Linux memory management
31(MM) subsystem internals with different level of details ranging from notes and
32mailing list responses for elaborating descriptions of data structures and
33algorithms.  It should all be integrated nicely into the above structured
34documentation, or deleted if it has served its purpose.
