I don't really/fully understand this topic, but I did look into it and from 
the Kconfig file I understood that it was (highly?) recommended to also enable 
CONFIG_MEMCG, while is defined as '=y' in debian/config/config.
So that seems great.

What I also found was the following in debian/config/armel/config.marvell:
# CONFIG_MEMCG is not set

Salsa commit fac721e3016478d286254eff2658954b15a70190 seems to be the 'cause' 
for that and commit title is "[armel] Fold config-reduced into config.marvell"
Lots of changes in that commit, but I didn't see an explicit reason why 
CONFIG_MEMCG should be disabled (IIUC) on that platform.
Is that something that needs to be corrected? (Just asking, I have no idea)

Cheers,
  Diederik
