[PATCH] linearly index zone->node_zonelists[]
I wonder why we need this bitmask indexing into zone->node_zonelists[]?
We always start with the highest zone and then include all lower zones
if we build zonelists.
Are there really cases where we need allocation from ZONE_DMA or
ZONE_HIGHMEM but not ZONE_NORMAL? It seems that the current implementation
of highest_zone() makes that already impossible.
If we go linear on the index then gfp_zone() == highest_zone() and a lot
of definitions fall by the wayside.
We can now revert back to the use of gfp_zone() in mempolicy.c ;-)
