At this point it is accounted as a regular page would be (anonymous, file or share memory). I wanted mm_counters to reflect memcg but i can untie that. Like i said at this point we are unsure how usage of such memory will impact thing so i wanted to keep all thing as if it was regular memory to avoid anuything to behave too much differently.
