Well _you_ do, because that happens to be exactly what you want. Bill
ends up with something that displays page_mapcount instead. And I
end up with something that traverses LRU lists rather than pfns. And
none of it goes in /proc/ or linux-2.6/.
So it isn't really the same thing at all.


The EM guys aren't dealing with the database; they're dealing with some
enterprise management thingie that does things like control how many
client connections are allowed for each database instance. Unless
they're doing less than I expect, and are largely something like procps
on steroids and enterprise silliness.

Ah, OK. Anyway, with kprobes/systemtap they can do whatever they like
and none of us need to care in the slightest ;)
