This has a merge conflict with 2.6.35 since it has this:

	page = get_partial_node(get_node(s, searchnode));
	if (page || (flags & __GFP_THISNODE))
		return page;

	return get_any_partial(s, flags);

so what happened to the dropped check for returning get_any_partial() when 
node != -1?  I added the check for benchmarking.
