    Subject[PATCH 19/25] Do not setup zonelist cache when there is only one node
    Date
    There is a zonelist cache which is used to track zones that are not in
    the allowed cpuset or found to be recently full. This is to reduce cache
    footprint on large machines. On smaller machines, it just incurs cost
    for no gain. This patch only uses the zonelist cache when there are NUMA
    nodes.
