Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/page_alloc: Allow high-order pages to be stored on the
 per-cpu lists

Changelog since v1
o Fix boot problem on KVM with hotplug memory nodes (ziy)
o Correct PCP list lookup in bulk page allocator

The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means
that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends
on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and
"cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in
size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64.

Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of
how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded
prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages
being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much
depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to
determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload.

That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf
UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network
allocations are high-order.

From a functional point of view, a patch like this is necessary to
make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance
to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this
series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how
they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.
