Thanks.  The proposed output does indeed look a lot better.

The columns don't line up, but I guess we can live with that ;)

nr_free[][] is an 8x11 array of 8, I think?  That's 704 bytes of stack,
and show_free_areas() is called from very deep call stacks - from the
oom-killer, for example.  We shouldn't do this.

I think we can eliminate nr_free[][]:

In the above loop, take zone->lock and calculate the nr_free for this
particular order/mtype, then release zone->lock.

That will be slower, but show_free_areas() doesn't need to be fast.
