Memoryless nodes: introduce mask of nodes with memory
It is necessary to know if nodes have memory since we have recently begun to add support for memoryless nodes. For that purpose we introduce a two new node states: N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY. A node has its bit in N_HIGH_MEMORY set if it has any memory regardless of the type of mmemory. If a node has memory then it has at least one zone defined in its pgdat structure that is located in the pgdat itself. A node has its bit in N_NORMAL_MEMORY set if it has a lower zone than ZONE_HIGHMEM. This means it is possible to allocate memory that is not subject to kmap. N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY can then be used in various places to insure that we do the right thing when we encounter a memoryless node.
