[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching reorder structure
Rearrange the struct members in the 'struct zonelist_cache' structure, so as to put the readonly (once initialized) z_to_n[] array first, where it will come right after the zones[] array in struct zonelist. This pretty much eliminates the chance that the two frequently written elements of 'struct zonelist_cache', the fullzones bitmap and last_full_zap times, will end up on the same cache line as the performance sensitive, frequently read, never (after init) written zones[] array. Keeping frequently written data off frequently read cache lines is good for performance. Thanks to Rohit Seth for the suggestion.
