Thanks. The proposed output does indeed look a lot better.
The columns don't line up, but I guess we can live with that ;)

nr_free[][] is an 8x11 array of 8, I think? That's 704 bytes of stack,
and show_free_areas() is called from very deep call stacks - from the
oom-killer, for example. We shouldn't do this.
I think we can eliminate nr_free[][]:

In the above loop, take zone->lock and calculate the nr_free for this
particular order/mtype, then release zone->lock.
That will be slower, but show_free_areas() doesn't need to be fast.
