David Rientjes didn't like HugetTLB limit to be a memcg extension and
wanted this to be a separate controller. I posted a v7 version that did
HugeTLB limit as a separate controller and used page cgroup to track
HugeTLB cgroup. Kamezawa Hiroyuki didn't like the usage of page_cgroup
in HugeTLB controller( http://mid.gmane.org/4FCD648E.90709@jp.fujitsu.com )
I ended up doing a v8 that used page[2].lru.next for storing hugetlb
controller.

I guess that should address all the concerns.
