This patch lays down the foundation for the kernel memory component
of the Memory Controller.
As of today, I am only laying down the following files:
* memory.independent_kmem_limit
* memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes (currently ignored)
* memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes (always zero)

+2.7 Kernel Memory Extension (CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_KMEM)
+
+With the Kernel memory extension, the Memory Controller is able to limit
+the amount of kernel memory used by the system. Kernel memory is fundamentally
+different than user memory, since it can't be swapped out, which makes it
+possible to DoS the system by consuming too much of this precious resource.
+
+Some kernel memory resources may be accounted and limited separately from the
+main "kmem" resource. For instance, a slab cache that is considered important
+enough to be limited separately may have its own knobs.
+
+Kernel memory limits are not imposed for the root cgroup. Usage for the root
+cgroup may or may not be accounted.
+
+Memory limits as specified by the standard Memory Controller may or may not
+take kernel memory into consideration. This is achieved through the file
+memory.independent_kmem_limit. A Value different than 0 will allow for kernel
+memory to be controlled separately.
+
+When kernel memory limits are not independent, the limit values set in
+memory.kmem files are ignored.
+
+Currently no soft limit is implemented for kernel memory. It is future work
+to trigger slab reclaim when those limits are reached.
