This is just a send with git-send-email that seems to work better. Nothing
else than tab-spaces should be different. I would like to have some positive
feedback from google/android before I start to send updated patches to the list.
If google are ready for the userspace solution this patch set is pointless for
upstream kernel.

Michal Hocko is very negative to hole thing, but we have addressed at least some
issues he pointed out on the list in 2015. Is there any idea to continue?
