[RFC] Use ZVCs for numa statistics.

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Tue Jun 13 2006 - 21:12:17 EST


The numa statistics are really event counters. But they are per
node and therefore we can use the per zone feature to easily
implement what we need.

Remove the special statistics for numa and replace them with
zoned vm counters.

This has the side effect that global sums of these events now show up
in /proc/vmstat.

I am not sure if this is a good approach. It certainly removes a
lot of code and may place the counters more securely into the
pcp cacheline but the implementation may be less efficient than the
original code (not tested yet) since the ZVC require the disabling
of interrupts.
