Subject: [patch] mm: memcontrol: default hierarchy interface for memory fix - "none"
The "none" name for the low-boundary 0 and the high-boundary maximum
value can be confusing.
Just leave the low boundary at 0, and give the highest-possible
boundary value the name "max" that means the same for controls.
