Subject: [PATCHv2 1/3] fs/buffer.c: allocate buffer cache with user specific
flag
A buffer cache is allocated from movable area
because it is referred for a while and released soon.
But some filesystems are taking buffer cache for a long time
and it can disturb page migration.
A new API should be introduced to allocate buffer cache
with user specific flag.
For instance if user set flag to zero, buffer cache is allocated from
non-movable area.
