Ok. I will try to put all the fixes together. Basically that will be the 
three patches plus Lee's new suggestion for alloc_pages_node. Plus fixes 
to slab / slub / the uncached allocator etc where I see that the online 
map is used but what was really intended was the node_memory_map. There is 
also stuff in the oom killer, vmscan.c etc that seems to make that 
assumption. Sigh.

That still leaves the issue of the name.

node_memory
set_node_has_memory
set_node_no_memory

Ok?
