mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing
This patch adds Kconfig options and kernel parameters to allow the enabling and disabling of automatic NUMA balancing. The existance of such a switch was and is very important when debugging problems related to transparent hugepages and we should have the same for automatic NUMA placement. Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>
