After this patch, above should be 
==
#define mm_match_cgroup_css(mm, css, subsys_id)

This generic macro may be good for your purpose.

	 Above is an explanation for this patch.
	  More simple text is better... How about

I don't like "select"....this should be
	depends on CGROUPS && RESOURCE_COUNTERS && MM_OWNER
