From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

When memory fills up on a node, memory contents can be
automatically migrated to another node.  The biggest problems are
knowing when to migrate and to where the migration should be
targeted.

The most straightforward way to generate the "to where" list
would be to follow the page allocator fallback lists.  Those
lists already tell us if memory is full where to look next.  It
would also be logical to move memory in that order.

But, the allocator fallback lists have a fatal flaw: most nodes
appear in all the lists.  This would potentially lead to
migration cycles (A->B, B->A, A->B, ...).

Instead of using the allocator fallback lists directly, keep a
separate node migration ordering.  But, reuse the same data used
to generate page allocator fallback in the first place:
find_next_best_node().

This means that the firmware data used to populate node distances
essentially dictates the ordering for now.  It should also be
architecture-neutral since all NUMA architectures have a working
find_next_best_node().

The protocol for node_demotion[] access and writing is not
standard.  It has no specific locking and is intended to be read
locklessly.  Readers must take care to avoid observing changes
that appear incoherent.  This was done so that node_demotion[]
locking has no chance of becoming a bottleneck on large systems
with lots of CPUs in direct reclaim.

This code is unused for now.  It will be called later in the
series.
