It interfered with my stupid `remove free swap space display' series
which is not yet completely in mainline (and no more in -mm).  I wanted
to wait until it trickled in but I think I will include the remaining
patches into the generic show_mem series and send them out soon,
obsoleting the old series...

Remaining unpatched show_mem()s in mainline are are um, sparc, sh, m32r,
alpha, sparc64 and xtensa.
