Subject: [PATCH 1/12] ksm: rename kernel_pages_allocated
We're not implementing swapping of KSM pages in its first release;
but when that follows, "kernel_pages_allocated" will be a very poor
name for the sysfs file showing number of nodes in the stable tree:
rename that to "pages_shared" throughout.
But we already have a "pages_shared", counting those page slots
sharing the shared pages: first rename that to... "pages_sharing".
What will become of "max_kernel_pages" when the pages shared can
be swapped? I guess it will just be removed, so keep that name.
