[PATCH] node local per-cpu-pages

This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.

Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets.  So any particular CPU has some
memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself.  Even if that CPU is
not local to that zone.

So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
zone.  This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
done with information available locally.

We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.
