[PATCH] cpuset: number_of_cpusets optimization
Easy little optimization hack to avoid actually having to call
cpuset_zone_allowed() and check mems_allowed, in the main page allocation
routine, __alloc_pages(). This saves several CPU cycles per page allocation
on systems not using cpusets.
A counter is updated each time a cpuset is created or removed, and whenever
there is only one cpuset in the system, it must be the root cpuset, which
contains all CPUs and all Memory Nodes. In that case, when the counter is
one, all allocations are allowed.
