    Many developers already know that field for reference count of the
    struct page is _count and atomic type.  They would try to handle it
    directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count
    tracepoint.  To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it
    to _refcount and add warning message on the code.  After that, developer
    who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be
    accessed directly.
