With this patch, other kernel modules can also use the for_each_zone().
Would it be better to claim it broader?


Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <wei.w.wang@xxxxxxxxx>
balloon seems to only use
+       for_each_populated_zone(zone)
+               for_each_migratetype_order(order, type)


Yes. using for_each_populated_zone() requires the following export.

Best,
Wei
