From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, page_alloc: split alloc_pages_nodemask()
alloc_pages_nodemask does a number of preperation steps that determine
what zones can be used for the allocation depending on a variety of
factors. This is fine but a hypothetical caller that wanted multiple
order-0 pages has to do the preparation steps multiple times. This patch
structures __alloc_pages_nodemask such that it's relatively easy to build
a bulk order-0 page allocator. There is no functional change.
