Provide infrastructure to auto-configure to enum and API changes in the
global page stats used for our free memory calculations.
arc_free_memory has been broken since an API change in Linux v3.14:
2016-07-28 v4.8 599d0c95 mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
2016-07-28 v4.8 75ef7184 mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node
vmstats
These commits moved some of global_page_state() into
global_node_page_state(). The API change was particularly egregious as,
instead of breaking the old code, it silently did the wrong thing and we
continued using global_page_state() where we should have been using
global_node_page_state(), thus indexing into the wrong array via
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE et al.
There have been further API changes along the way:
2017-07-06 v4.13 385386cf mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to
node counters
2017-09-06 v4.14 c41f012a mm: rename global_page_state to
global_zone_page_state
...and various (incomplete, as it turns out) attempts to accomodate
these changes in ZoL:
2017-08-24 2209e409 Linux 4.8+ compatibility fix for vm stats
2017-09-16 787acae0 Linux 3.14 compat: IO acct, global_page_state, etc
2017-09-19 661907e6 Linux 4.14 compat: IO acct, global_page_state, etc
The config infrastructure provided here resolves these issues going back
to the original API change in v3.14 and is robust against further Linux
changes in this area.
