Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Hierarchical percpu counters preparation

Hi Andrew,

This patch is a preparation step for HPCC, for the OOM killer
improvements. I suspect that this patch is useful on its own, because it
really makes no sense to sum up accounting statistics of use_mm within
kernel threads which are only temporarily using those mm.

Thanks,

Mathieu
