Re: [RFC PATCH 0/3] Reduce searching in the page allocatorfast-path

This could be combined with the per cpu ops patch that makes the page
allocator use alloc_percpu for its per cpu data needs. That in turn would
allow the use of per cpu atomics in the hot paths, maybe we can
get to a point where we can drop the irq disable there.
