This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are allocated. It relocates
the pagesets contained in a zone for each cpu to the node that is nearest to
the cpu instead keeping the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target zone.
This means that the operations to manage caches of pages on remote zones can
be done with information available in the local zone.
The patch depends on the API changes to the slab allocator posted before
this patch.

The major improvement is in the mid range when running 100-600 tasks. For 1 task
there is barely any improvement since most data will be locally allocated. In
the high
range other factors seem to become important.
