Axel Dörfler 873f2ffc1a * Fixed the page_thief(): it never noticed it could not get a page.
* The page_thief() will no longer steal any pages in B_LOW_MEMORY_NOTE state,
  only in the more serious cases.
* I've disabled stealing active pages for now again; there seem to be some
  problems with it (either with how we do it, or with other stuff).
* vm_page_schedule_write_page() now always releases the page writer semaphore,
  resulting in many more written pages - this isn't optimal as long as there is
  no I/O scheduler, but before it was much too rare when there are many dirty
  pages.
* Customized the thread priorities a bit to make the page scanner/thief/writer
  experience a bit nicer with our current scheduler.
* vm_page_reserve_pages() would return too early, it did not test if really
  enough pages are free.
* Under certain circumstances, the wakeup from vm_page_reserve_pages() did not
  work - we now always notify in vm_page_unreserve_pages() to work around that
  problem.
* Checked if the page reservations are done when needed and are always balanced
  for the whole kernel.
* vm_page_allocate_page() now panics if it can't deliver a reserved page.
* vm_page_allocate_page_run() can no longer steal reserved pages.
* With all of those changes, I could finally copy a file in emulation, ie. the
  Luposian bug should finally be fixed, even though the system might still not
  be perfectly stable under low memory. Will do some more testing.
* write_page() no longer prints something on failure.
* Dumping a whole page queue will now also write the cache type of each page.
