This patch removes zone_mem_map from zone.
 By this, (generic) page_to_pfn and pfn_to_page can use the same logic.

I assume this is dependent upon unify-pfn_to_page-*.patch?

yes. sorry for forgetting to write it.

 This modifies page_to_pfn implementation. Could anyone do performance test on NUMA ?

Do you expect there to be NUMA performance problems?  If so, how do they
arise and what sort of tests should be run?

I don't expect it. But when I posted this before (as RFC), some persons
(Martin J. Bligh and Dave Hansen) had concerns about it.

I think the heaviest users of page_to_pfn() are the page allocator and
mk_pte(page_to_pfn(page), hogehoge).

So, tests like  "mmap -> touch all -> unmap" will be good test.

powerpc and ia64 is not a good test environment, because they don't use
page_to_pfn() of generic DISCONTIG definitions.

other NUMAs (i386, x86_64 etc..) will be good.

Thanks,
