Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3 V1 resend] mm: add new migrate type and online_movable for hotplug

This patchset adds a stable-movable-migrate-type for memory-management,
It is used for anti-fragmentation(hugepage, big-order allocation...),
hot-removal-of-memory(virtualization, power-conserve, move memory between systems
to make better utilities of memories).

it likes ZONE_MOVABLE, but it is more flexible.

o	The 1st patch fixes the allocation of CMA and do prepares
	for movable-like types.

o	The 2nd patch add a new migrate type which stands for the movable types
	which pages will not be changed to the other type.

	I chose the name MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE from MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE
	and MIGRATE_MOVABLE_STABLE, it just because the first usecase of
	this new type is for hotremove.

o	The 3th path introduces online_movable. When a memoryblock is onlined
	by "online_movable", the kernel will not have directly reference to
	the page of the memoryblock, thus we can remove that memory any time
	when needed.

	Different from ZONE_MOVABLE: it can be used for any given memroyblock.
	it can be set after boot(ZONE_MOVABLE zones are configured when booting)

Lai Jiangshan (3):
  use __rmqueue_smallest when borrow memory from MIGRATE_CMA
  add MIGRATE_HOTREMOVE type
  add online_movable
