|    page-allocator: clear N_HIGH_MEMORY map before we set it again
|    
|    SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size.  The arch code may
|    decide to not activate such a node.  However, currently the early boot
|    code sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes.  These nodes therefore seem to be
|    active although these nodes have no present pages.
|    
|    For 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too

the cpuset.mems cgroup attribute on an i386 kvm guest

fix it by only clearing node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] for 64bit only.
and need to do save/restore for that in find_zone_movable_pfn
