[PATCH] Add __GFP_THISNODE to avoid fallback to other nodes and ignore cpuset/memory policy restrictions
Add a new gfp flag __GFP_THISNODE to avoid fallback to other nodes. This flag is essential if a kernel component requires memory to be located on a certain node. It will be needed for alloc_pages_node() to force allocation on the indicated node and for alloc_pages() to force allocation on the current node.
