[PATCH] Reduce size of huge boot per_cpu_pageset in rc6-mm1 (V2)

[Christoph Lameter <christoph@graphe.net>]

Reduce size of the huge per_cpu_pageset structure in __initdata
introduced into mm1 with the pageset localization patchset.
Use one specially configured pageset per cpu for all zones
and nodes during bootup.

- Avoid duplication of pageset initialization code.
- do the adding to the pageset list before potential free_pages_bulk
  in free_hot_cold_page (otherwise we would have to hold a page
  in a pageset during the period that the boot pagesets are in use).
- remove mistaken __cpuinitdata attribute and revert back to __initdata
  for the boot pageset. A boot pageset is not necessary for cpu hotplug.

Tested for UP SMP NUMA on x86_64 (2.6.12-rc6-mm1): UP SMP NUMA
Tested on IA64 (2.6.12-rc5-mm2): NUMA (2.6.12-rc6-mm1 broken for IA64 
because of sparsemem patches)
