v1 only mentioned one use case (ballooning), but we both know there
are at least two solid use cases (the other being job
scheduling/binpacking, e.g., for kubernetes [1]).

Please do a survey, as thoroughly as possible, of use cases.
* What's the significance of WSR to the landscape, in terms of server
and client use cases?
* How would userspace tools, e.g., a PMU-based memory profiler,
leverage the infra provided by WSR?
* Would those who register slab shrinkers, e.g., DMA buffs [2], want
to report their working sets?
* Does this effort intersect with memory placement with NUMA and CXL.mem?
