mm: Support address range reclaim
This patch adds address range reclaim of a process.
The requirement is following as,
Like webkit1, it uses a address space for handling multi tabs.
IOW, it uses *one* process model so all tabs shares address space
of the process. In such scenario, per-process reclaim is rather
coarse-grained so this patch supports more fine-grained reclaim
for being able to reclaim target address range of the process.
For reclaim target range, you should use following format.
echo [addr] [size-byte] > /proc/pid/reclaim
The addr should be page-aligned.
So now reclaim konb's interface is following as.
echo file > /proc/pid/reclaim
reclaim file-backed pages only
echo anon > /proc/pid/reclaim
reclaim anonymous pages only
echo all > /proc/pid/reclaim
reclaim all pages
echo 0x100000 8K > /proc/pid/reclaim
reclaim pages in (0x100000 - 0x102000)
