Note that unlike what subject suggest, this doesn't really enable 
mobile-page migration inside compaction, since that only happens with 
patch 3. This might theoretically affect some cherry-pick backports that 
don't care about balloon pages. I can imagine that can easily happen in 
the world of mobile devices?
It would thus be somewhat cleaner if this patch was complete in that sense.

PageMovable() would probably be as good a name and correspond to 
MIGRATE_MOVABLE somewhat, unlike a completely new term. Whatever driver 
starts to using this should probably change allocation flags to allocate 
MIGRATE_MOVABLE, so that it works fine with what fragmentation avoidance 
expects. Guess I should have said that earlier, but can you still 
reconsider?

I would put this definition to linux/page-flags.h and rename it to 
page_mobile (or better page_movable()), which is more common ordering.

Does this have to be in compaction.h? The only user is compaction.c so 
probably move it there, and if there ever is another module using this 
in the future, we can move it to a more appropriate place and declare it 
in e.g. mm/internal.h.

Likewise, this could go to migrate.c. Or maybe together with 
isolate_mobilepage() if you don't want to split them.
