mm: page_alloc: default node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA, zone-ordering on 32-bit 

Zones are allocated by the page allocator in either node or zone order.
Node ordering is preferred in terms of locality and is applied
automatically in one of three cases:

  1. If a node has only low memory

  2. If DMA/DMA32 is a high percentage of memory

  3. If low memory on a single node is greater than 70% of the node size

Otherwise zone ordering is used to preserve low memory for devices that
require it.  Unfortunately a consequence of this is that applications
running on a machine with balanced NUMA nodes will experience different
performance characteristics depending on which node they happen to start
from.

The point of zone ordering is to protect lower zones for devices that
require DMA/DMA32 memory.  When NUMA was first introduced, this was
critical as 32-bit NUMA machines existed and exhausting low memory
triggered OOMs easily as so many allocations required low memory.  On
64-bit machines the primary concern is devices that are 32-bit only which
is less severe than the low memory exhaustion problem on 32-bit NUMA.  It
seems there are really few devices that depends on it.

AGP -- I assume this is getting more rare but even then I think the allocations
	happen early in boot time where lowmem pressure is less of a problem

DRM -- If the device is 32-bit only then there may be low pressure. I didn't
	evaluate these in detail but it looks like some of these are mobile
	graphics card. Not many NUMA laptops out there. DRM folk should know
	better though.

Some TV cards -- Much demand for 32-bit capable TV cards on NUMA machines?

B43 wireless card -- again not really a NUMA thing.

I cannot find a good reason to incur a performance penalty on all 64-bit NUMA
machines in case someone throws a brain damanged TV or graphics card in there.
This patch defaults to node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA machines. I was tempted
to make it default everywhere but I understand that some embedded arches may
be using 32-bit NUMA where I cannot predict the consequences.

The performance impact depends on the workload and the characteristics of the
machine and the machine I tested on had a large Normal zone on node 0 so the
impact is within the noise for the majority of tests. The allocation stats
show more allocation requests were from DMA32 and local node. Running SpecJBB
with multiple JVMs and automatic NUMA balancing disabled the results were

Note that there were more DMA32 allocations with the patch applied.  In this
particular case there was no difference in numa_hit and numa_miss. The
expectation is that DMA32 was being used at the low watermark instead of
falling into the slow path. kswapd was not woken but it's not worken for
THP allocations.

On 32-bit, this patch defaults to zone-ordering as low memory depletion
can be a serious problem on 32-bit large memory machines. If the default
ordering was node then processes on node 0 will deplete the Normal zone
due to normal activity.  The problem is worse if CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not
set. If combined with large amounts of dirty/writeback pages in Normal
zone then there is also a high risk of OOM. The heuristics are removed
as it's not clear they were ever important on 32-bit. They were only
relevant for setting node-ordering on 64-bit.
