You mentioned that if node 0 has a small ZONE_NORMAL and the ZONE_DMA for the system, defaulting to using ZONE_NORMAL on all nodes first would be a bad idea. Is that really true? Maybe for ZONE_DMA32 it is since that first node could have a few gigs of memory, but for regular ZONE_DMA it's probably the right thing to do... So aside from the comment issues Lee already pointed out, I think Kamezawa-san's patch from http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=117758484122663&w=4 seems reasonable.
