memory, and whether it should exclude the memory of the type (filter-out), or
all except the memory of the type (filter-in).
Currently, anonymous page, memory cgroup, address range, and DAMON monitoring
target type filters are supported by the feature. Some filter target types
require additional arguments. The memory cgroup filter type asks users to
specify the file path of the memory cgroup for the filter. The address range
type asks the start and end addresses of the range. The DAMON monitoring
target type asks the index of the target from the context's monitoring targets
list. Hence, users can apply specific schemes to only anonymous pages,
non-anonymous pages, pages of specific cgroups, all pages excluding those of
specific cgroups, pages in specific address range, pages in specific DAMON

from the scheme, pages in specific address range, pages in specific DAMON

To handle filters efficiently, the address range and DAMON monitoring target
