We resort to some special case hackery instead. + * + * The MPOL_BIND zonelists don't need this zonelist_cache (in good + * part because they are shorter), so we put the fixed length stuff + * at the front of the zonelist struct, ending in a variable length + * zones[], as is needed by MPOL_BIND. + * + * Then we put the optional zonelist cache on the end of the zonelist + * struct.
