Subject: [RFC][PATCH 3/5] add /dev/mem_notify device
the core of this patch series.
add /dev/mem_notify device for notification low memory to user process.
<usage examle>
fd = open("/dev/mem_notify", O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
exit(1);
}
pollfds.fd = fd;
pollfds.events = POLLIN;
pollfds.revents = 0;
err = poll(&pollfds, 1, -1); // wake up at low memory
...
</usage example>
