The above shows up again and again. Maybe add a new inline function?

struct zonelist *zonelist_node(int node)

How many callers of gfp_zone are left? Do we still need the function?

Note that the memoryless_node patchset modifies gfp_zone and adds some 
more zonelists (sigh).

The above portion has already been changed to no longer use a zonelist by 
the memoryless_node patchset in mm.

Encoding the node in the zonelist pointer would help these loops but they 
are fallback lists and not on the critical path.
