Just question.

As far as I know, customer has two different requeremtn of the page fault.
(1) collect number of all page fault
-> if it is too large, too many interrupt decrease performance.
(2) collect number of major page fault
-> major page fault indicate to increase random access I/O,
then, some customer want to collect major page fault
(don't include minor page fault)

Is this patch fill (2) requirement?
