I was holding off trying to add new features to current mainline or -mm as
there were a number of stability issues and one-zonelist touches a number
of areas. Minimally, I was waiting for another -mm to come out and rebase
to that. I'll rebase to latest git tomorrow, see how that looks and post
it if passes regression tests on Monday.

The one-zonelist stuff is likely to be more controversial than what you
are doing. It may be best if the one-zonelist patches are based on top
of yours than the other way around.
