Memory controller improve user interface

Change the interface to use bytes instead of pages.  Page sizes can vary
across platforms and configurations.  A new strategy routine has been added
to the resource counters infrastructure to format the data as desired.

Suggested by David Rientjes, Andrew Morton and Herbert Poetzl

Tested on a UML setup with the config for memory control enabled.
