In a system with multiple memory types, e.g. DRAM and PMEM, the CPU
and DRAM in one socket will be put in one NUMA node as before, while
the PMEM will be put in another NUMA node as described in the
description of the commit c221c0b0308f ("device-dax: "Hotplug"
persistent memory for use like normal RAM"). So, the NUMA balancing
mechanism will identify all PMEM accesses as remote access and try to
promote the PMEM pages to DRAM.
To distinguish the number of the inter-type promoted pages from that
of the inter-socket migrated pages. A new vmstat count is added. The
counter is per-node (count in the target node). So this can be used
to identify promotion imbalance among the NUMA nodes.
