So I tested it. It compiles, and it actually also solves the
performance problem I was complaining about a couple of weeks ago with
"unlock_page()" having an insane 3% CPU overhead when doing lots of
small script ("make -j16 test" in the git tree for those that weren't
involved in the original thread three weeks ago).

So quite frankly, I'll just commit it. It should fix the new problem
with gfs2 and CONFIG_VMAP_STACK, and I see no excuse for the crazy
zone stuff considering how harmful it is to everybody else.

I expect that when the NUMA people complain about page locking (if
they ever even notice), PeterZ will stand up like the hero he is, and
say "look here, I can solve this for you".
