I can't say I'm a big fan of this approach. If there are enough
users, maybe but can't we just annotate the affected allocations
explicitly? Is this gonna have many more users?

Also, in general, can we please add some comments? I know memcg code
is dearth of comments but let's please not keep it that way.

Thanks.
