This could be turned on and off after bootup but I guess the result
could be pretty confusing.

However there would be useful use cases?  The user would normally have
this disabled but if he wants to do a bit of debugging then turn this
on, create a memcg, have a poke around then turn the feature off again.
Hmm... maybe.  It's somewhat nasty to do after-the-fact.  You would
have to re-walk all the caches to create and destroy the sysfs
entries.  Given that it's a pretty fringe debug feature, I'm not sure
the added complexity would be justified.

Ah, of course, looks good to me.

Thanks.
