[PATCH] /proc/vmload memory_pressure meter

[PATCH] /proc/vmload memory_pressure meter

[Paul Larson]

This patch adds /proc/vmload that reports the current value of
memory_pressure. The idea came from an enhancement proposed on the
linux-mm bugzilla (#3007, but it seems to be down atm).

This patch was made against 2.4.10-pre2.

You can find this value in /proc/meminfo, too.
