[RFC PATCH 3/4] build per numa_group active node mask from faults_from statistics

From: riel
Date: Tue Nov 26 2013 - 17:18:49 EST


From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

The faults_from statistics are used to maintain an active_nodes nodemask
per numa_group. This allows us to be smarter about when to do numa migrations.
