I think what we want to do here is align NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS up to 4 bits 
at relevant places. Or go to the next power-of-2.

Could we simply to that using something like

#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION
	PB_migrate_isolate, /* If set the block is isolated */
#endif
	__NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS
};

/* We always want the bits to be a power of 2. */
#define NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS (roundup_pow_of_two(__NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS))


Would something like that work?

I assume we should first change users ot "1 << (PB_migrate_skip)" to 
PB_migrate_skip_bit to keep it similar.

When calling functions, we usually indent up to the beginning of the 
parameters. Same for the other cases below.

... or just exceed the 80 chars a bit in this case. :)

This should fit into a single line.

If you call get_pfnblock_flags_mask() with MIGRATETYPE_MASK, how could 
you ever get PB_migrate_isolate_bit?


I think what we should do is

1) Rename get_pfnblock_flags_mask() to get_pfnblock_flags()

2) Remove the mask parameter

3) Perform the masking in all callers.



Maybe, we should convert set_pfnblock_flags_mask() to

void set_clear_pfnblock_flags(struct page *page, unsigned long
			      set_flags, unsigned long clear_flags);

And better, splitting it up (or providing helpers)

set_pfnblock_flags(struct page *page, unsigned long flags);
clear_pfnblock_flags(struct page *page, unsigned long flags);


This implies some more code cleanups first that make the code easier to 
extend.

Should these reside in include/linux/pageblock-flags.h, just like the
CONFIG_COMPACTION "skip" variants?
