Re: [RFC] Initial alpha-0 for new page allocator API

Here is an iniitial patch of alloc_pages_range (untested, compiles). 
Directed reclaim missing. Feedback wanted. There are some comments in the 
patch where I am at the boundary of my knowledge and it would be good if 
someone could supply the info needed.
