[PATCH] buffermem_pages removal (3/5)

[PATCH] buffermem_pages removal (3/5)

[Christoph Hellwig]

This one is a bit more controveral as it may break stupid userlevel
programs:  remove the 'Buffers' field from /proc/meminfo and make
the Cached field show the full pagecache size instead of subtracting
the block-device backed pages.

All /proc/meminfo-using programs I have (free, top) still work fine.
