+ inactive_anon - # of pages on active lru of anon, shmem
+ active_file - # of pages on active lru of file-cache
+ inactive_file - # of pages on inactive lru of file cache
+ unevictable - # of pages cannot be reclaimed.(mlocked etc)

+ recent_rotated_file - VM internal parameter. (see mm/vmscan.c)
+ recent_scanned_anon - VM internal parameter. (see mm/vmscan.c)
+ recent_scanned_file - VM internal parameter. (see mm/vmscan.c)

+ Memo:
+ recent_rotated means recent frequency of lru rotation.
+ recent_scanned means recent # of scans to lru.
