I don't think "Won't Fix" is appropriate. If you look at at "kernel/Documentation/vm/ksm.txt" you find that the values for "pages_to_scan" and "sleep_millisecs" are documentated as "chosen for demonstration purposes".

So "upstream" obviously does not consider these values appropriate for normal operation. Therefore I think ksm should either be distributed as disabled or with a less aggressive configuration.
