Hi KOSAKI,

If only one or a few processes are using the system I think 10 seconds
is a little long time to wait before they get the notification again.
Can we decrease this value? Or make it configurable under /proc? Or
make it lower with fewer users? Something like:

timeout = info->last_proc_notify + min(mem_notify_users, PROC_WAKEUP_GUARD);

Cheers,
Daniel
