[RFC] buddy allocator without bitmap [2/3]

[RFC] buddy allocator without bitmap [2/3]

[Hiroyuki KAMEZAWA]

This part is unchanged from previous version.

I'm sorry to forget to say that these patches are against 2.6.9-rc1-mm2.

--Kame
====

This is 3rd.
This patch removes bitmap operation from alloc_pages().

Instead of using MARK_USED() bitmap operation,
this patch records page's order in page struct itself, page->private field.
