Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/3] contigous big page allocator


No big change since the previous version but divided into 3 patches.
This patch is based onto mmotm-1008 and just works, IOW, mot tested in
very-bad-situation.

What this wants to do: 
  allocates a contiguous chunk of pages larger than MAX_ORDER.
  for device drivers (camera? etc..)
  My intention is not for allocating HUGEPAGE(> MAX_ORDER).
  
What this does:
  allocates a contiguous chunk of page with page migration,
  based on memory hotplug codes. (memory unplug is for isolating
  a chunk of page from buddy allocator.)

Consideration:
  Maybe more codes can be shared with other functions
  (memory hotplug, compaction..)

Status:
  Maybe still needs more updates, works on small test.
  [1/3] ... move some codes from memory hotplug. (no functional changes)
  [2/3] ... a code for searching contiguous pages.
  [3/3] ... a code for allocating contig memory.

Thanks,
-Kame

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

Memory hotplug is a logic for making pages unused in the specified range
of pfn. So, some of core logics can be used for other purpose as
allocating a very large contigous memory block.

This patch moves some functions from mm/memory_hotplug.c to
mm/page_isolation.c. This helps adding a function for large-alloc in
page_isolation.c with memory-unplug technique.
