Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/8] mm: Add data-structures to describe memory regions
 within the zones' freelists

In order to influence page allocation decisions (i.e., to make page-allocation
region-aware), we need to be able to distinguish pageblocks belonging to
different zone memory regions within the zones' freelists.

So, within every freelist in a zone, provide pointers to describe the
boundaries of zone memory regions and counters to track the number of free
pageblocks within each region.

Also, fixup the references to the freelist's list_head inside struct free_area.
