I am not 100% sure of that right now. I definitely want different control
parameters (not included as a part of memory.limit_in_bytes). If there is
leverage from memory controller, we could consider adding that to it or a
separate controller if that makes more sense.

I think this will be useful too (but I need to play with it)

I wonder if we should modify a generic routine and add charge/no charge variants
to it. Charging is very memory controller specific operation. Can't we infer the
charging/no charging from gfp_mask or another flag?

I thought I saw a patch from Hugh for this one too.. but I might be missing the
