It does read more naturally.. but there is a problem here (and the
reason I didn't take this route),

```
- drm-memory-<str>: <uint> [KiB|MiB]

Each possible memory type which can be used to store buffer objects by the
GPU in question shall be given a stable and unique name to be returned as the
string here.
```

so, drm-memory-resident-system gets parsed as the "resident-system"
memory type by existing userspace :-(

This is why we are forced to use drm-$CATEGORY-memory...
