[PATCH] /proc/<pid>/numa_maps to show on which nodes pages reside

This patch was recently discussed on linux-mm:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112085728500002&r=1&w=2

I inherited a large code base from Ray for page migration.  There was a
small patch in there that I find to be very useful since it allows the
display of the locality of the pages in use by a process.  I reworked that
patch and came up with a /proc/<pid>/numa_maps that gives more information
about the vma's of a process.  numa_maps is indexes by the start address
found in /proc/<pid>/maps.  F.e.  with this patch you can see the page use
of the "getty" process:

getty uses ld.so.  The first vma is the code segment which is used by 43
other processes and the pages are evenly distributed over the 4 nodes.

The second vma is the process specific data portion for ld.so.  This is
only one page.

The display format is:

<startaddress>	 Links to information in /proc/<pid>/map
<memory policy>  This can be "default" "interleave={}", "prefer=<node>" or "bind={<zones>}"
MaxRef=		<maximum reference to a page in this vma>
Pages=		<Nr of pages in use>
Mapped=		<Nr of pages with mapcount >
Anon=		<nr of anonymous pages>
Nx=		<Nr of pages on Node x>

The content of the proc-file is self-evident.  If this would be tied into
the sparsemem system then the contents of this file would not be too
useful.
