Add auto zone ordering configuration.

This function will select ZONE_ORDER_NODE when

- There are only ZONE_DMA or ZONE_DMA32.
(or) size of (ZONE_DMA/DMA32) > (System Total Memory)/2
(or) Assume Node(A)
        * Node (A)'s total memory > System Total Memory/num_of_node+1
        (and) Node (A)'s ZONE_DMA/DMA32 occupies 60% of Node(A)'s memory.

otherwise, ZONE_ORDER_ZONE is selected.

Note: a user can specifiy this ordering from boot option.
