[PATCH] Add pgcollapse controls to task_struct

From: Alex Thorlton
Date: Wed Oct 22 2014 - 22:49:44 EST


This patch just adds the necessary bits to the task_struct so that the scans can
eventually be controlled on a per-mm basis. As I mentioned previously, we might
want to add some more counters here.
