[PATCH v2] mm: trace filemap add and del

[Robert Jarzmik]

Use the events API to trace filemap loading and
unloading of file pieces into the page cache.

This patch aims at tracing the eviction reload
cycle of executable and shared libraries pages in
a memory constrained environment.

The typical usage is to spot a specific device and
inode (for example /lib/libc.so) to see the eviction
cycles, and find out if frequently used code is
rather spread across many pages (bad) or coallesced
(good).
