[RFC 4/8] page allocator: Optional ZONE_DMA

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Fri Jul 07 2006 - 20:06:17 EST


Make ZONE_DMA optional in the page allocator

- ifdef all code for ZONE_DMA and related definitions.

- Without ZONE_DMA, ZONE_HIGHMEM and ZONE_DMA32 we fall back
to an empty GFP_ZONEMASK and a ZONES_SHIFT of zero (since there
is only one zone....).

- We need to fix the use of ZONE_DMA in the memory policy layer.
ZONE_DMA is used there as the first zone so use 0 instead.
