[RFC PATCH v2 03/15] mm: Introduce and initialize zone memory regions

[Srivatsa S. Bhat]

Memory region boundaries don't necessarily fit on zone boundaries. So we need
to maintain a zone-level mapping of the absolute memory region boundaries.

"Node Memory Regions" will be used to capture the absolute region boundaries.
Add "Zone Memory Regions" to track the subsets of the absolute memory regions
that fall within the zone boundaries.

Eg:

	|<----------------------Node---------------------->|
	 __________________________________________________
	|      Node mem reg 0 	 |      Node mem reg 1     |  (Absolute region
	|________________________|_________________________|   boundaries)

	 __________________________________________________
	|    ZONE_DMA   |	    ZONE_NORMAL		   |
	|               |                                  |
	|<--- ZMR 0 --->|<-ZMR0->|<-------- ZMR 1 -------->|
	|_______________|________|_________________________|


In the above figure,

ZONE_DMA will have only 1 zone memory region (say, Zone mem reg 0) which is a
subset of Node mem reg 0 (ie., the portion of Node mem reg 0 that intersects
with ZONE_DMA).

ZONE_NORMAL will have 2 zone memory regions (say, Zone mem reg 0 and
Zone mem reg 1) which are subsets of Node mem reg 0 and Node mem reg 1
respectively, that intersect with ZONE_NORMAL's range.

Most of the MM algorithms (like page allocation etc) work within a zone,
hence such a zone-level mapping of the absolute region boundaries will be
very useful in influencing the MM decisions at those places.
