I was investigating a performance bug that looked like dd to tmpfs
had regressed.  The bulk of the problem turned out to be a difference
in Kconfig but it got me looking at the unnecessary overhead in tmpfs,
mark_page_accessed and parts of the allocator. This series is the result.

The patches themselves have details of the performance results but here
are some of the results based on ext4. This is the result of dd'ing to
a file multiple times on tmpfs

In general the system CPU overhead is lower.
