This implements manual kswapd-style memory reclaim initiated by userspace.
It reclaims both physical memory and cgroup pages. It works in context of
task who calls syscall madvise thus cpu time is accounted correctly.

I do not follow. Does this mean that the madvise always reclaims from
the memcg the process is member of?
