Subject: [PATCH 0/10] Hugepage migration (v4)

Hi,

This is the 4th version of "hugepage migration" set.

Major changes: (see individual patches for more details)
- Folded alloc_buddy_huge_page_node() into alloc_buddy_huge_page().
- Fixed race condition between dequeue function and allocate function.
  This is based on the draft patch from Wu Fengguang. Thank you.
- Enabled missing path of recovery from uncorrected error on free hugepage.
- Change semantics of refcount of isolated hugepage from freelist.


Future works:

- Migration can fail for various reasons depending on various factors,
  so it's useful if soft offline can be retried when it noticed migration
  fails. This problem is a more general one because it's applied for
  soft offline of normal-sized pages. So we leave it as a future work.
  
- Corrupted hugepage counter implemeted in the previous version was dropped
  because it's not directly related to migration topic and have no serious
  impact on kernel behavior. We also leave it as the next work.
