Looks OK I guess.
I fiddled with it a lot. Please consider:
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>
Subject: mm-sysctl-make-numa-stats-configurable-fix
- tweak documentation
- move advisory message from start_kernel() into mm_init() (I'm not sure
we really need this message)
- use strcasecmp() in __parse_vm_numa_stats_mode()
- clean up coding style amd nessages in sysctl_vm_numa_stats_mode_handler()
