It have been there for a year and I think memory usage by page_cgroup
will not surprise linux kernel users, more.

Assume x86-32.

RHEL allows amount of memory up to 16G, right?

without memcg: memmap uses 32bytes * 16G/4k = 128M.
with memcg: memmap+page_cgroup uses (32+20) bytes * 16G/4k = 208M.

I thought this may cause OOM in ZONE_NORMAL. Then, I added it when I wrote
original patch. This kind of memory eater can cause trouble when it pops
up suddenly. But I think 'one year' can be an excuse.

Thanks,
-Kame
