Next patch fixes it up: :-=

Fixed up version


Memoryless nodes: Update memory policy and page migration

Online nodes now may have no memory. The checks and initialization must therefore
be changed to no longer use the online functions.

This will correctly initialize the interleave on bootup to only target
nodes with memory and will make sys_move_pages return an error when a page
is to be moved to a memoryless node. Similarly we will get an error if
MPOL_BIND and MPOL_INTERLEAVE is used on a memoryless node.

These are somewhat new semantics. So far one could specify memoryless nodes
and we would maybe do the right thing and just ignore the node (or we'd do
something strange like with MPOL_INTERLEAVE). If we want to allow the
specification of memoryless nodes via memory policies then we need to keep
checking for online nodes.
