Subject: [PATCH 09/12] mm/mempolicy: Thread allocation for many preferred

In order to support MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY as the mode used by
set_mempolicy(2), alloc_pages_current() needs to support it. This patch
does that by using the new helper function to allocate properly based on
policy.

All the actual machinery to make this work was part of
("mm/mempolicy: Create a page allocator for policy")
