This allows to dip into zones for lower memory if they are available. If one of the zones is not available the corresponding GFP_* flag will evaluate to 0 so they won't change anything. We provide an arch tunable for those architectures that do not use GFP_DMA for the lowest 24-bits, given that there are a few. Roughly based on the x86 code.
