Subject[RFC][PATCH 7/8] mem_notify v5: ignore very small zone for prevent incorrect low mem notify.
on X86, ZONE_DMA is very very small.
it cause undesirable low mem notification.
It should ignored.

but on other some architecture, ZONE_DMA have 4GB.
4GB is large as it is not possible to ignored.

therefore, ignore or not is decided by zone size.

ChangeLog:
v5: new
