But is this program intended to be used as is? Or rather to serve as an
example? If the former, than I think it should be in tools/ rather than
in Documentation/. If the latter, than I think it does not really
matter whether it's C or some scripting language, since the purpose is
to show how /proc/page_owner can be used, and in fact showing the
general idea may be simpler with a shorter program which does not have
to deal with memory management.
And if Python is not your fancy, you can always use some shell: ;)
awk -vRS= '{ gsub("\n", "\\n"); print $0 }' |sort |uniq -c

Not at all. I'm just throwing ideas.
