If any, will be fixed up in mmotm. About behavior, I don't have more things
than I've said. (dealying kswapd is not very good.)

But plz discuss with Vladislav Buzov about implementation details of [2..3/5].

[PATCH 1/2] Resource usage threshold notification addition to res_counter (v3)

It seems there are multiple functionalities you can shere with them.

- hierarchical threshold check
- callback or notify agaisnt threshold.
etc..

I'm very happy if all messy things around res_counter+hierarchy are sorted out
before diving into melting pot. I hope both of you have nice interfaces and
keep res_counter neat.

Thanks,
