Thanks Lorenzo for driving this!

Current maintainers (mm/unstable) on 20 biggest files in mm, Andrew is

I've been messing with KSM for a long time, so I could easily jump in as
maintainer for that. Probably we want page migration (incl. mempolicy?)
as a separate entry. I've been messing with that as well (and will be
messing more), so I could jump in for that as well.

For page allocator stuff (incl. compaction) we at least have plenty of
reviewers now. For vmalloc we at least have Uladzislau as single reviewer.

vmscan.c and vmalloc.c really need some love.
