Mel Gorman 9cd7555875 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.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
