Lightweight KSM (in short, LKSM) is a variant of KSM that is implemented in
a fully event-triggered manner. LKSM provides a memory deduplication facility
like vanilla KSM while it extremely reduces overhead.

Normally, LKSM is blocked and waits for incoming deduplication requests from
user-level process (e.g., resourced). When a user-level process submits
deduplication request via sysfs, LKSM performs requested-level of deduplication,
such as partial and full deduplications.
After that, LKSM is going to sleep again and waits for next request coming.

By doing so, LKSM mitigates side effects that impact on system performance,
for instance, occupying system resources such as CPU and incurring cache
pollutions.
