My kernel was only missing this
revision 1.100 (vm_page.c)
date: 1998/06/02 05:50:08;  author: dyson;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -15
Cleanup and remove some dead code from the initialization.

and this
revision 1.122 (vm_pageout.c)
date: 1998/06/02 05:39:13;  author: dyson;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2

in the NFS layer yet.  They seem to work fine, BTW.
