What about

   unsigned int vm_pgfails /* failed alloc attempts, in pages (not calls) */

What would that represent ?

How often __alloc_pages() exits without allocating anything?

maybe even a

   unsigned int vm_pgallocs /* alloc attempts, in pages */

for sanity checking - should be the sum of several other combinations...

Sounds like a nice idea.

Should memory zone be used as dimension?

Useful for allocations I guess, but it may be too confusing
if we do this for all statistics... OTOH...

Comments, anyone?
