For the orig patch + fold (squashed locally from your mmotm/... branch)

Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@...e.cz>

Please update the commit description which still mentions the nodemask
emulation of __GFP_THISNODE.

Also I noticed that the goal of patch 2 is already partially achieved
here, because alloc_huge_page_nodemask() will now allocate using
zonelist. It won't dequeue that way yet, though.
