Naive me would think that ALLOCSTALL_DEVICE is always 0. :)

Likely we should just do:

for (zid = 0; zid < MAX_NR_ZONES; zid++)
	stall += events[ALLOCSTALL_NORMAL - ZONE_NORMAL + zid];

(see isolate_lru_folios() -> __count_zid_vm_events(), where we realy on 
the same ordering)

Apart form that, LGTM.
