2 * Quicklist support.
4 * Quicklists are light weight lists of pages that have a defined state
5 * on alloc and free. Pages must be in the quicklist specific defined state
6 * (zero by default) when the page is freed. It seems that the initial idea
7 * for such lists first came from Dave Miller and then various other people
8 * improved on it.
10 * Copyright (C) 2007 SGI,
11 * Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
12 * Generalized, added support for multiple lists and
13 * constructors / destructors.
