Patch from Martin Bligh. Implements __free_pages_bulk(). Release multiple pages of a given order into the buddy all within a single acquisition of the zone lock. This also removes current->local_pages. The per-task list of pages which only ever contained one page. To prevent other tasks from stealing pages which this task has just freed up. Given that we're freeing into the per-cpu caches, and that those are multipage caches, and the cpu-stickiness of the scheduler, I think current->local_pages is no longer needed.
