+ * We cache key information from each zonelist for smaller cache
+ * footprint when scanning for free pages in get_page_from_freelist().
+ *
+ * 1) The BITMAP fullzones tracks which zones in a zonelist have come
+ *    up short of free memory since the last time (last_fullzone_zap)
+ *    we zero'd fullzones.
+ * 2) The array z_to_n[] maps each zone in the zonelist to its node
+ *    id, so that we can efficiently evaluate whether that node is
+ *    set in the current tasks mems_allowed.
+ *
+ * Both fullzones and z_to_n[] are one-to-one with the zonelist,
+ * indexed by a zones offset in the zonelist zones[] array.
+ *
+ * The get_page_from_freelist() routine does two scans.  During the
+ * first scan, we skip zones whose corresponding bit in 'fullzones'
+ * is set or whose corresponding node in current->mems_allowed (which
+ * comes from cpusets) is not set.  During the second scan, we bypass
+ * this zonelist_cache, to ensure we look methodically at each zone.
+ *
+ * Once per second, we zero out (zap) fullzones, forcing us to
+ * reconsider nodes that might have regained more free memory.
+ * The field last_full_zap is the time we last zapped fullzones.
+ *
+ * This mechanism reduces the amount of time we waste repeatedly
+ * reexaming zones for free memory when they just came up low on
+ * memory momentarilly ago.
+ *
+ * The zonelist_cache struct members logically belong in struct
+ * zonelist.  However, the mempolicy zonelists constructed for
+ * MPOL_BIND are intentionally variable length (and usually much
+ * shorter).  A general purpose mechanism for handling structs with
+ * multiple variable length members is more mechanism than we want
+ * here.  We resort to some special case hackery instead.
+ *
+ * The MPOL_BIND zonelists don't need this zonelist_cache (in good
+ * part because they are shorter), so we put the fixed length stuff
+ * at the front of the zonelist struct, ending in a variable length
+ * zones[], as is needed by MPOL_BIND.
+ *
+ * Then we put the optional zonelist cache on the end of the zonelist
+ * struct.  This optional stuff is found by a 'zlcache_ptr' pointer in
+ * the fixed length portion at the front of the struct.  This pointer
+ * both enables us to find the zonelist cache, and in the case of
+ * MPOL_BIND zonelists, (which will just set the zlcache_ptr to NULL)
+ * to know that the zonelist cache is not there.
+ *
+ * The end result is that struct zonelists come in two flavors:
+ *  1) The full, fixed length version, shown below, and
+ *  2) The custom zonelists for MPOL_BIND.
+ * The custom MPOL_BIND zonelists have a NULL zlcache_ptr and no zlcache.
+ *
+ * Even though there may be multiple CPU cores on a node modifying
+ * fullzones or last_full_zap in the same zonelist_cache at the same
+ * time, we don't lock it.  This is just hint data - if it is wrong now
+ * and then, the allocator will still function, perhaps a bit slower.
