/proc/pid/smaps: export amount of anonymous memory in a mapping
Export the number of anonymous pages in a mapping via smaps. Even the private pages in a mapping backed by a file, would be marked as anonymous, when they are modified. Export this information to user-space via smaps. Exporting this count will help gdb to make a better decision on which areas need to be dumped in its coredump; and should be useful to others studying the memory usage of a process.

+MAP_SHARED mapping, but has only a single pte mapped, i.e. is currently used
+by only one process, is accounted as private and not as shared. "Referenced"

+"Anonymous" shows the amount of memory that does not belong to any file. Even
+a mapping associated with a file may contain anonymous pages: when MAP_PRIVATE
+and a page is modified, the file page is replaced by a private anonymous copy.
+"Swap" shows how much would-be-anonymous memory is also used, but out on
