Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 03/13] mm/mempolicy: Add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for
 multiple preferred nodes

mempolicy: don't handle MPOL_LOCAL as a fake MPOL_PREFERRED policy

MPOL_LOCAL policy has been setup as a real policy, but it is still
handled as a faked POL_PREFERRED policy with one internal
MPOL_F_LOCAL flag bit set, and there are many places having to
judge the real 'prefer' or the 'local' policy, which are quite
confusing.

In current code, there are four cases that MPOL_LOCAL are used:
* user specifies 'local' policy
* user specifies 'prefer' policy, but with empty nodemask
* system 'default' policy is used
* 'prefer' policy + valid 'preferred' node with MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES
  flag set, and when it is 'rebind' to a nodemask which doesn't
  contains the 'preferred' node, it will add the MPOL_F_LOCAL bit
  and performs as 'local' policy. In future if it is 'rebind' again
  with valid nodemask, the policy will be restored back to 'prefer'

So for the first three cases, we make 'local' a real policy
instead of a fake 'prefer' one, this will reduce confusion and
make it easier to integrate our new 'prefer-many' policy

And next optional patch will kill the 'MPOL_F_LOCAL' bit.
