Good point, I did not look into this deep enough and tried to fix the
symptoms instead of the cause. There are two locations where the compile
breaks:
- mm/migrate.c: migrate_vmas() does not know vm_ops->migrate()
- inlcude/linux/migrate.h: vma_migratable() does not know policy_zone

Both functions are called from mm/mempolicy.c, which is NUMA-only.
vma_migratable() is also called from mm/migrate.c, but just inside a
'#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA' section. So I think it should be safe to just put
the definition of those two functions within '#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA',
and the compile error will be gone, see new patch below.

Thanks,
Gerald

Subject: [PATCH] Make CONFIG_MIGRATION available for s390

From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@...ibm.com>

We'd like to support CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE on s390, which depends on
CONFIG_MIGRATION. So far, CONFIG_MIGRATION is only available with NUMA
support.

This patch makes CONFIG_MIGRATION selectable for architectures that define
ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. When MIGRATION is enabled w/o NUMA, the kernel
won't compile because migrate_vmas() does not know about vm_ops->migrate()
and vma_migratable() does not know about policy_zone. To avoid this, those
two functions can be restricted to "#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA" because they are
not being used w/o NUMA.
