SubjectRe: [PATCH 6/7] mm: page_alloc: Only account batch allocations requests that are eligible

Yes. Bursts of allocations for which the policy does not get enforced
will still create memory pressure and affect cache aging on a given
node. So even if we only distribute page cache, we want to distribute
it in a way that all allocations on the eligible zones equal out.
