Subject[PATCH] stop page_state stack waste
Replace get_page_state (which memset most of full page_state to 0) by
get_main_page_state, which just sets the small structure needed. This
helps 4k stacks not to overflow: cuts 224 bytes off try_to_free_pages
and wakeup_bdflush (and sync_inodes_sb) stack usages: wakeup_bdflush
doesn't do much, but is called by try_to_free_pages and mempool_alloc.

(224 bytes saved when building for P4 with 128-byte cacheline, less on
PIII: seems the ____cacheline_aligned struct got aligned on the stack.)

Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

Patch below against 2.6.7-rc3, in the hope it might get into 2.6.7:
but doesn't apply against the -mm vmscan.c (which just needs struct
page_state replaced by struct main_page_state and get_page_state by
get_main_page_state twice).
