    kernel - Reduce spin-lock contention issues in page allocator
    
    * The primary source for cpu-localized exhaustion of VM page queues
      is bio_page_alloc().  Mostly because the related pages tend to be
      very long-lived.  When this occurs, multiple cpus wind up being
      funneled to alternative page queues and wind up with lock
      contention.
    
    * As a first-order solution, use cpuid + ticks to rotate through
      cpu-localized page queues when allocating BIO pages.
    
      Note that this is not really NUMA friendly, but the kernel has
      a hard time determining which BIO pages might be useful when
      NUMA-localized and which might not be.  We might need to make
      adjustments in the future to retain some localization.
    
    * Significantly reduces vm_page_alloc() contention on heavily
      loaded systems.
