It is not necessary to apply this patch to get all the anti-fragmentation
code. This patch adds a new config option called CONFIG_ALLOCSTATS. If
set, a number of new bean counters are added that are related to the
anti-fragmentation code. The information is exported via /proc/buddyinfo. This
is very useful when debugging why high-order pages are not available for
allocation.
