On IBM AIX, Instana should not count filecache (completely) as "used_memory"

AIX by default uses available memory as filecache (between limits set by parameters minperm% and maxperm%), usually up to 90% of the total memory size. When the applications use only a small portion of available memory, the remainder (or large par...
