Can we iterate from MAX_NR_ZONES-1 to automatically choose the right
zone for the system?

for_each_online_node(node)
	for (i = MAX_NR_ZONES - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
 		zones = NODE_DATA(node)->node_zonelists[i].zones;
		if (do_try_to_free_pages(zones, sc.gfp_mask, &sc))
			return 1;

The above code works on my PPC64 box where all memory is in ZOME_DMA.
