I"m not saying that we couldn't add a similar interface for zones... something along the lines of: __memblk_and_zone_to_flat_zone_number(5, DMA) or some such. It just isn't there now...
Also, right now, memblks map to nodes in a straightforward manner (1-1 on NUMA-Q, the only architecture that has defined them). It will likely look the same on most architectures, too.
