-nrefill
--------
-
-This is  the  number  of  buffers  that  bdflush  will add to the list of free
-buffers when  refill_freelist()  is  called.  It is necessary to allocate free
-buffers beforehand,  since  the  buffers  are  often  different sizes than the
-memory pages  and some bookkeeping needs to be done beforehand. The higher the
-number, the  more  memory  will be wasted and the less often refill_freelist()
-will need to run.

-nref_dirt
----------
-
-When refill_freelist() comes across more than nref_dirt dirty buffers, it will
