p.s. I wish you'd chosen different name than KSM - the kernel
has supported shared memory for many years - and notice ksm.c itself
says "Memory merging driver". "Merge" would indeed have been a less
ambiguous term than "Share", but I think too late to change that now
- except possibly in the MADV_ flag names?

I don't actually care about names, so I leave this to other to discuss.
Well, There is no real problem changing the name, any suggestions?
