I assume this patch is relative to v3.4.

This has unfortunate side effect of letting code outside of memcontrol.c
manipulate memcg internally managed statistics
(e.g. MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE) with mem_cgroup_{dec,inc}_page_stat.  I
think that your change is fine.  The complexity and presumed performance
overhead of the extra layer of indirection was not worth it.

You missed two more uses of enum mem_cgroup_page_stat_item in
memcontrol.h.
