Memory controller improve user interface
Change the interface to use bytes instead of pages. Page sizes can vary
across platforms and configurations. A new strategy routine has been added
to the resource counters infrastructure to format the data as desired.
Suggested by David Rientjes, Andrew Morton and Herbert Poetzl
Tested on a UML setup with the config for memory control enabled.
