Unusuable free space index is a measure of external fragmentation that
takes the allocation size into account. For the most part, the huge page
size will be the size of interest but not necessarily so it is exported
on a per-order and per-zone basis via /proc/unusable_index.

The index is a value between 0 and 1. It can be expressed as a
percentage by multiplying by 100 as documented in
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt.
