...so that it can be used in conjunction with psutil.PROCFS_PATH in order to support Linux containers.
Right now swap_memory() relies on sysinfo syscall exposed as a C extension.
This use case is well summarized here:

There are of course other APIs such as disk_partitions() which do not rely on /proc fs and which cannot be used with Linux containers, but memory-related APIs are more important so they deserve to be nicer in this sense.
