2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <[email protected]>

commit f755a042d82b51b54f3bdd0890e5ea56c0fb6807 upstream.

PTE pages eat up memory just like anything else, but we do not account for
them in any way in the OOM scores.  They are also _guaranteed_ to get
freed up when a process is OOM killed, while RSS is not.
