Hi Matt,

	I was looking at this patch, and slapping a vma in a structure called
"*_stats" is fairly ugly.  How about this (applies on top):

==
mmaps2-vma-out-of-mem_size_stats.patch

Putting the vma inside "struct mem_size_stats" to hand it through the
pagewalker is a little gross.  Making a separate struct is more
verbose, but clearer.
