Yes, we should avoid moving pages as far as it is balanced fairly well
between groups.

But I want to move pages between bio-cgoups in case it started charging
quite a few I/O requests to a wrong bio-cgroup. I think it will be okay
if pages moves between bio-cgroups, but they don't need to move between
memory cgroups. I know the latter is really heavy and the effect seems
to be so limited.

Thanks,
Hirokazu Takahashi.
