Add page_state info to the per-node meminfo file in sysfs.  This is mostly
just for informational purposes.

The lack of this information was brought up recently during a discussion
regarding pagecache clearing, and I put this patch together to test out one
of the suggestions.

It seems like interesting info to have, so I'm submitting the patch.

This bitop does not need to be atomic because it is performed when there will
be no references to the page (ie.  the page is being freed).

By making the offset argument of __read_page_state an unsigned long instead of
unsigned, we can avoid forcing the compiler to sign extend a usually constant
argument.  This saves 1 instruction on x86-64.

Remove PG_highmem, to save a page flag.  Use is_highmem() instead.  It'll
generate a little more code, but we don't use PageHigheMem() in many places.

<title>[PATCH] count bounce buffer pages in vmstat</title>

This is a patch for counting the number of pages for bounce buffers.  It's
shown in /proc/vmstat.

Currently, the number of bounce pages are not counted anywhere.  So, if
there are many bounce pages, it seems that there are leaked pages.  And
it's difficult for a user to imagine the usage of bounce pages.  So, it's
meaningful to show # of bouce pages.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
