At this point it is accounted as a regular page would be (anonymous, file
or share memory). I wanted mm_counters to reflect memcg but i can untie
that. Like i said at this point we are unsure how usage of such memory
will impact thing so i wanted to keep all thing as if it was regular
memory to avoid anuything to behave too much differently.
