This patch hasn't been a high priority for me.  I would really appreciate 
it if someone could confirm that this patch does indeed fix the hotplug 
page migration issue by testing it in a system that hits the bug.  Removing 
the anon_inode bits isn't too much work, but I'd just like to have some 
confirmation that this fix is considered to be "good enough" for the 
problem at hand before spending any further time on it.  There was talk of 
using another approach, but it's not clear if there was any progress.
