Hi Kame --

Thanks for the review!

Not that I'm aware of. As required by Andrew Morton, the frontswap
patchset now exposes ALL statistics through debugfs instead of sysfs.
For consistency, all cleancache statistics are also moved from sysfs
into debugfs, so this is a good time to also do the name change.
(The name change was also required by Andrew Morton, and previously
suggested by Minchan Kim.)

Thanks,
Dan
