I'm leery about it, but semi-ok since it seems like a common enough
place.  

Can you check that it works on with hugetlbfs?  Some of those paths can
get kinda screwy.  I don't know how you picked vm_stat_account(), but as
long as it is paired closely with the allocations of the vma structs
themselves you should be OK.

Please do send to linux-mm when ready, though.
