1. although we can get usage from /proc/meminfo, but sometimes we only get kernel msg, so we need this to check memusage 2. some drivers use it, like dma heap page pool or gpu driver mem pool, so it also help us to find whether shrinker work correctly on lowmem condition 3. i thought it's resonable for show_free_areas to print misc_recliamiable
