mainlining shenanigans
0f87d9d30f
The proposed callers for the bulk allocator store pages from the bulk allocator in an array. This patch adds an array-based interface to the API to avoid multiple list iterations. The page list interface is preserved to avoid requiring all users of the bulk API to allocate and manage enough storage to store the pages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
