We initialize boot-time pagesets with setup_pageset(), which sets high and
batch values that effectively disable pcplists.

We can remove this wrapper if we just set these values for all pagesets in
pageset_init(). Non-boot pagesets then subsequently update them to specific
values.

Just one question below:

pageset_update was manipulating these values with barriers in between.
I guess we do not care here because we are not really updating but
initializing them, right?

You would need to squash here the remove of setup_pageset's declaration.
And then remove it from patch#4.

subject: s/page_alloc()/page_alloc/ to make it look consistent

Had the same thought about barriers being useless when the pageset is
not hot.

LGTM

Sure. We just initialized all the list heads, so there can be no concurrent
access at this point. But I'll mention it in the comment.
