mm, vmscan: begin reclaiming pages on a per-node basis This patch makes reclaim decisions on a per-node basis. A reclaimer knows what zone is required by the allocation request and skips pages from higher zones. In many cases this will be ok because it's a GFP_HIGHMEM request of some description. On 64-bit, ZONE_DMA32 requests will cause some problems but 32-bit devices on 64-bit platforms are increasingly rare. Historically it would have been a major problem on 32-bit with big Highmem:Lowmem ratios but such configurations are also now rare and even where they exist, they are not encouraged. If it really becomes a problem, it'll manifest as very low reclaim efficiencies.
