mm: introduce node_zonelist() for accessing the zonelist for a GFP mask
Introduce a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup the
appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask. The patch on its own is a
cleanup but it helps clarify parts of the two-zonelist-per-node patchset. If
necessary, it can be merged with the next patch in this set without problems.

mm: use zonelists instead of zones when direct reclaiming pages
The following patches replace multiple zonelists per node with two zonelists
that are filtered based on the GFP flags. The patches as a set fix a bug with
regard to the use of MPOL_BIND and ZONE_MOVABLE. With this patchset, the
MPOL_BIND will apply to the two highest zones when the highest zone is
ZONE_MOVABLE. This should be considered as an alternative fix for the
MPOL_BIND+ZONE_MOVABLE in 2.6.23 to the previously discussed hack that filters
only custom zonelists.
The first patch cleans up an inconsistency where direct reclaim uses
zonelist->zones where other places use zonelist.
The second patch introduces a helper function node_zonelist() for looking up
the appropriate zonelist for a GFP mask which simplifies patches later in the
set.
The third patch defines/remembers the "preferred zone" for numa statistics, as
it is no longer always the first zone in a zonelist.
The forth patch replaces multiple zonelists with two zonelists that are
filtered. The two zonelists are due to the fact that the memoryless patchset
introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE.
The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node
indices of entries in a zonelist.
The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask.
Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for
__GFP_THISNODE.
Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration. In real
workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the
benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing
of zonelists.
These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against
2.6.24-rc4-mm1. The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and
ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA.

This patch:
The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones
should be targeted for an allocation. Similarly, direct reclaim of pages
iterates over an array of zones. For consistency, this patch converts direct
reclaim to use a zonelist. No functionality is changed by this patch. This
simplifies zonelist iterators in the next patch.

mmap_region: cleanup the final vma_merge() related code
It is not easy to actually understand the "if (!file || !vma_merge())"
code, turn it into "if (file && vma_merge())". This makes immediately
obvious that the subsequent "if (file)" is superfluous.
As Hugh Dickins pointed out, we can also factor out the ->i_writecount
corrections, and add a small comment about that.
fix invalidate_inode_pages2_range() to not clear ret
DIO invalidates page cache through invalidate_inode_pages2_range().
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() sets ret=-EIO when
invalidate_complete_page2() fails, but this ret is cleared if
do_launder_page() succeed on a page of next index.
In this case, dio is carried out even if invalidate_complete_page2() fails
on some pages.
This can cause inconsistency between memory and blocks on HDD because the
page cache still exists.

Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag
logic was reviewed. Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the
unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was
active when a new slab page was allocated.
This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it.
The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set. The set_migrateflags() never had any
effect there.
Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated
with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation. We now set
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix
tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section. Radix tree
slabs will also be accounted as such.
There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
identical; x86-32 is slightly different.
x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This
leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
add_one_highpage_init.
I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

rtc: avoid legacy drivers with generic framework
Kconfig tweaks to help reduce RTC configuration bugs, by avoiding
legacy RTC drivers when the generic RTC framework is enabled:
- If rtc-cmos is selected, disable the legacy rtc driver;
- When using generic RTC on x86, enable rtc-cmos by default;
- In the old "chardev RTC" section of Kconfig, add a comment
warning people off these (seven) legacy RTC drivers when
the generic framework is in use.
People can still use the legacy drivers if they want (or need) to.
This doesn't fix the broken dependencies for the legacy "CMOS" RTC driver.
Ideally it would be a full list of platforms where it works, not a partial
list of ones where it won't. Or better yet, it would depend on a
"HAVE_CMOS_RTC" flag defined by various platforms ... surely there's a
Kconfig style guideline lurking there.

Bart says: "can be done from user-space and is not especially interesting
even when debugging problems (raw PCI config space dump is far more useful)."
Instead of allocating pages for the buffer one by one, take advantage of the
buddy alloc system and request them 2^order at a time. This increases the chance
for bigger buffer parts to be contigious and reduces loop iteration count. While
at it, rename function __idetape_kmalloc_stage() to ide_tape_kmalloc_buffer().
