Subject[PATCH 03/04] Cpuset: mark number_of_cpusets read_mostly
Mark cpuset global 'number_of_cpusets' as __read_mostly.

This global is accessed everytime a zone is considered
in the zonelist loops beneath __alloc_pages, looking for
a free memory page. If number_of_cpusets is just one,
then we can short circuit the mems_allowed check.

Since this global is read alot on a hot path, and written
rarely, it is an excellent candidate for __read_mostly.

Thanks to Christoph Lameter for the suggestion.
