Subject: [PATCH 4/6] mm: introduce per-node proactive reclaim interface
This patch introduces a mechanism to trigger memory reclaim
as a per-node sysfs interface, inspired by compaction's
equivalent; ie:
echo 1G > /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/reclaim
It is based on the discussions from David's thread[1] as
well as the current upstreaming of the memcg[2] interface
(which has nice explanations for the benefits of userspace
reclaim overall). In both cases conclusions were that either
way of inducing proactive reclaim should be KISS, and can be
later extended. So this patch does not allow the user much
fine tuning beyond the size of the reclaim, such as anon/file
or whether or semantics of demotion.

+Description:
+ Write the amount of bytes to induce memory reclaim in this node.
+ This file accepts a single key, the number of bytes to reclaim.
+ When it completes successfully, the specified amount or more memory
+ will have been reclaimed, and -EAGAIN if less bytes are reclaimed
+ than the specified amount.
