Thank you for working on this, Quanmin!

Overall, looks good to me.  I have a few change requests including below major
ones, though.

First, let's squash patches for fixing problems made with patches 1-10 into
patches 1-10.  If you don't mind, I will post RFC v2 of those so that you can
pick into your series.

Second, let's keep DAMOS stats in 'unsigned long' type.  This require fixups of
patches 1-10.  If you don't mind, I will also do this in RFC v2 of those.

Please let me know what do you think.

I left a few more comments to patches, let's discuss on the replies.


Thanks,
SJ
