This exposes more implementation detail than I think is good. Something like a memory controller should use a more abstract interface like bytes, and do the conversion to/from its internal "natural" units like pages internally. E.g. the example cpu accounting controller that I included with my patch set reports usage in milliseconds, even though it counts internally in jiffies.
