It guess is decided today, the length of this thread is enough
regardless of its content. To me madvise looks overdesign but then I'm
also sure KSM is here to stay and it'll soon swap too, so I think it's
no problem at all, if part of it is always present in the VM
core. KSM=N must stay for embedded. Not sure if it worth to keep
KSM=M.
