I would squash the two changes into a single patch.

I would go with more specifics here. What about

Sorry I didn't really get to read this previously. The implementation
works but I find it harder to read than really necessary. Why don't you
use first_zones_zonelist here as well?

This doesn't sound very useful for admins IMHO. It is not clear what the
problem is and how to deal with it. What about
		pr_into("Unsupported (movable nodes only) cpuset configuration detected! Cpuset allocations might fail even with a lot of memory available.");
