Subject: [PATCH] vmallocinfo: Add NUMA informations 

Christoph recently added /proc/vmallocinfo file to get information about 
vmalloc allocations.

This patch adds NUMA specific information, giving number of pages 
allocated on each memory node.

This should help to check that vmalloc() is able to respect NUMA policies.

Example of output on a four nodes machine (one cpu per node)

1) network hash tables are evenly spreaded on four nodes (OK)
   (Same point for inodes and dentries hash tables)
2) iptables tables (x_tables) are correctly allocated on each cpu node (OK).
3) sys_swapon() allocates its memory from one node only.
4) each loaded module is using memory on one node.

Sysadmins could tune their setup to change points 3) and 4) if necessary.
