Subject: [PATCH 07/10] mm, page_alloc: Use masks and shifts when converting GFP flags to migrate types

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>

This patch redefines which GFP bits are used for specifying mobility and
the order of the migrate types. Once redefined it's possible to convert
GFP flags to a migrate type with a simple mask and shift. The only downside
is that readers of OOM kill messages and allocation failures may have been
used to the existing values but scripts/gfp-translate will help.
