+		full_scans: how many times all mergeable areas have been
+		scanned.
+
+		pages_shared: how many shared pages are being used.
+
+		pages_sharing: how many more sites are sharing them i.e. how
+		much saved.
+
+		pages_to_scan: how many present pages to scan before ksmd goes
+		to sleep.
+
+		pages_unshared: how many pages unique but repeatedly checked
+		for merging.
+
+		pages_volatile: how many pages changing too fast to be placed
+		in a tree.
+
+		run: write 0 to disable ksm, read 0 while ksm is disabled.
+			write 1 to run ksm, read 1 while ksm is running.
+			write 2 to disable ksm and unmerge all its pages.
+
+		sleep_millisecs: how many milliseconds ksm should sleep between
+		scans.

+Description:	Control merging pages across different NUMA nodes.
