Yay, I wasn't completely clueless.

I really don't know much about memcg internals but I guess
implementation can be split into two pieces.  memcg already has its
own accounting and pressure mechanism so it should be possible to bolt
on the mempressure interface on top of already existing data.  You can
improve / bring some sanity :) to memcg if the proposed mempressure
implementation is better.

Thanks.
