I guess we might as well make this %8lu kB as well?

This is testing the software-referenced bit.  We want to be counting the
pte-referenced bits (pte_young).

Hence poking clear_refs should run pte_mkold().

Perhaps we should also be running ClearPageReferenced and counting pages
which are pte_young()||PageReferenced.
