Subject: Re: [PATCH 24/27] Convert gfp_zone() to use a table of precalculated
 values

Some macros can get us around the problems:


Subject: Use a table lookup for gfp_zone and check for errors in flags passed to the page allocator

Use a table to lookup the zone to use given gfp_flags using gfp_zone().

This simplifies the code in gfp_zone() and also keeps the ability of the compiler to
use constant folding to get rid of gfp_zone processing.

We are doing some macro tricks here to convince the compiler to always do the
constant folding if possible.
