This adds the function get_swap_page_of_type() allowing us to specify an index
in swap_info[] and select a swap_info_struct structure to be used for
allocating a swap page.
This function (or another one of similar functionality) will be necessary for
implementing the image-writing part of swsusp in the user space. It can also
be used for simplifying the current in-kernel implementation of the
image-writing part of swsusp.

On architectures that implement sparsemem but not discontigmem we want to
be able to hide the flatmem option in some cases. On ppc64 for example,
when we select NUMA we must not select flatmem.

The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.
The following changes are made:
(1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
code.
(2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.
(3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

Optimise page_state manipulations by introducing interrupt unsafe accessors
to page_state fields. Callers must provide their own locking (either
disable interrupts or not update from interrupt context).
Switch over the hot callsites that can easily be moved under interrupts off

The use k in the inner loop means that the highest zone nr is always used
if any zone of a node is populated. This means that the policy zone is not
correctly determined on arches that do no use HIGHMEM like ia64.
Change the loop to decrement k which also simplifies the BUG_ON.

Currently the function to build a zonelist for a BIND policy has the side
effect to set the policy_zone. This seems to be a bit strange. policy
zone seems to not be initialized elsewhere and therefore 0. Do we police
ZONE_DMA if no bind policy has been used yet?
This patch moves the determination of the zone to apply policies to into
the page allocator. We determine the zone while building the zonelist for
nodes.

Revert a patch which went into 2.6.8-rc1. The changelog for that patch was:
The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many
pages to be reclaimed. Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly
hit a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU.
Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been
reclaimed.
Problem is, this change caused significant imbalance in inter-zone scan
balancing by truncating scans of larger zones.
Suppose, for example, ZONE_HIGHMEM is 10x the size of ZONE_NORMAL. The zone
balancing algorithm would require that if we're scanning 100 pages of
ZONE_HIGHMEM, we should scan 10 pages of ZONE_NORMAL. But this logic will
cause the scanning of ZONE_HIGHMEM to bale out after only 32 pages are
reclaimed. Thus effectively causing smaller zones to be scanned relatively
harder than large ones.
Now I need to remember what the workload was which caused me to write this
patch originally, then fix it up in a different way...

As find_lock_page() already checks with TestSetPageLocked() that page is
locked, there is no need to call lock_page() that will try-lock page again
(chances of page being unlocked in between are small). Call __lock_page()
directly, this saves one atomic operation.
Also, mark truncate-while-slept path as unlikely while we are here.
(akpm: ug. But this is actually a common path for normal old read()s against
a page which is under readahead I/O so ho-hum.)

The attached patch cleans up the way the bootmem allocator frees pages.
A new function, __free_pages_bootmem(), is provided in mm/page_alloc.c that is
called from mm/bootmem.c to turn pages over to the main allocator. All the
bits of code to initialise pages (clearing PG_reserved and setting the page
count) are moved to here. The checks on page validity are removed, on the
assumption that the struct page arrays will have been prepared correctly.

bad_range is supposed to be a temporary check. It would be a pity to throw it
out. Make it depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM instead.
