Implement an approximation to Song Jiang's CLOCK-Pro page replacement
algorithm. The algorithm has been extended to handle multiple memory
zones and, consequently, needed some changes in the active page limit
readjustment.
TODO:
- verify that things work as expected
- figure out where to put new anonymous pages
