[PATCH 2/5] Create the ZONE_EASYRCLM zone

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Thu Jan 19 2006 - 14:09:29 EST



This patch adds the ZONE_EASYRCLM zone and updates relevant contants and
helper functions. After this patch is applied, memory that is hot-added on
the x86 will be placed in ZONE_EASYRCLM. Memory hot-added on the ppc64 still
goes to ZONE_DMA.

The value of GFP_ZONETYPES is debatable. It should reflect all possible
combinations of the zone modifiers which implies a value of 16. However, the
existing value does not reflect the ability to use zone bits in combination.
