I have got some android in my Fedora 33 then.

That it like that would like to only one pointer type. You need to know what
you pointing at to know what it is. it might be a hardware or a other pointer.
If there is a limitation on your pointers it is a good metric to count them
even if you don't know what they are. Same goes for dma-buf, they
are generic, but they consume some resources that are counted in pages.
It would be very good if there a sub division where you could measure
all possible types separately. We have the detailed in debugfs, but nothing
for the user. A summary in meminfo seems to be the best place for such
metric.
