Subject[PATCH 4/6] Record how many zones can be safely skipped in the zonelist
Date

This patch is mainly the work of Kamezawa-san.

As there is only one zonelist, it must be filtered for zones that are unusable
by the GFP flags. As the zonelists very rarely change during the lifetime of
the system, it is known in advance how many zones can be skipped from the
beginning of the zonelist for each zone type returned by gfp_zone. This patch
adds a gfp_skip[] array to struct zonelist to record how many zones may be
skipped.
