We need to go over this work before we can commit to the BC
core.  Last time I looked at the VM accounting patch it
seemed rather unpleasing from a maintainability POV.

hmmm... in which regard?


Little changes all over the MM code which might get accidentally broken.

I still think doing simple accounting per-page would be a better way to
go than trying to pin down all "user allocatable" kernel allocations.
And would require all of about 2 hooks in the page allocator. And would
track *actual* RAM allocated by that container.

Can we continue that discussion (ie. why it isn't good enough). Last I
was told it is not perfect and can be unfair... sounds like it fits the
semantics perfectly ;)
