Is it a good idea to rename "dirty_bytes" to "dirty_limit_in_bytes" ?
So that it can match with other memcg tunable naming convention.
We already have memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes, memory.limit_in_bytes, 
memory.soft_limit_in_bytes, etc.

Similarly "dirty_background_bytes" to dirty_background_limit_in_bytes ?
