Subject: [RFC PATCH 11/11] mm: Add free page notification hook

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...ux.intel.com>

Add a hook so that we are notified when a new page is available. We will
use this hook to notify the virtio aeration system when we have achieved
enough free higher-order pages to justify the process of pulling some pages
and hinting on them.
