    To keep the name, he needs to update all callers, right? Current patch
    appears to add a static inline for security_vm_enough_memory that
    retains the old interface to avoid having to update most callers.

    I don't have any fundamental problem with the nature of the change. As
    a side note, patch was malformed (at least as I received it), not sure
    if that was just a problem on my end.
