There are already pgin/pgout value.

There are 2 reasons to put this under DEBUG
1. This is not exported as this value under /proc by global VM management.
2. Few people can explain what this really means. No documentation in
Docunemtation/ directory. I can't add precise explanation by myself.
As Kosaki wrote, this is for his debug, IMHO.

If you want to show this, please add above two first.

Thanks,
