If you're serious about making this a generic thing, it must live in
mm/mem_notify.c. No ifs or buts about it.

I'm also not completely convinced we need to put memnotify policy in
the kernel. Why can't we extend Minchan's patch to report the relevant
numbers and let the userspace figure out when pressure is above some
interesting threshold?
