If you don't have experience with the mm core, I STRONGLY suggest that
you not worry about this as the issues involved are tricky and people
keep arguing about them.

See the lwn.net writeup last week for details about why this isn't
merged into the mainline kernel yet, and why it's probably not going to
happen anytime soon (hint, missing infrastructure in the mm core).
