[RFC PATCH v3 21/31] page_alloc: use dnuma to transplant newly freed pages in free_hot_cold_page()

From: Cody P Schafer
Date: Thu May 02 2013 - 20:03:01 EST


free_hot_cold_page() is used for order == 0 pages, and is where the
page's zone is decided.

In the normal case, these pages are freed to the per-cpu lists. When a
page needs transplanting (ie: the actual node it belongs to has changed,
and it needs to be moved to another zone), the pcp lists are skipped &
the page is freed via free_one_page().
