If someone shows me how to alloc pageable memory from the Linux kernel,
I'd love to use that for memcache (Linux).

With users who want to use all 32GB of a cluster node for computing, 
pinning down say 8GB for memcache is out. But as users often don't
do I/O and the big calculation steps at the same time, pageable
would be OK.
