NACK. This patchset is not ready for any inclusion and nothing like that
should go into 2.6.22. We first need to assess the breakage that results
if GFP_THISNODE now returns NULL for memoryless nodes. So far GFP_THISNODE
returns memory on the nearest node and that seems to make lots of things
keep working.
Plus the implementation of GFP_THISNODE that we have so far is a bit
complex. It would be good if that could be simpler.
