No big change since the previous version but divided into 3 patches.
This patch is based onto mmotm-1008 and just works, IOW, mot tested in
very-bad-situation.
What this wants to do:
allocates a contiguous chunk of pages larger than MAX_ORDER.
for device drivers (camera? etc..)
My intention is not for allocating HUGEPAGE(> MAX_ORDER).
What this does:
allocates a contiguous chunk of page with page migration,
based on memory hotplug codes. (memory unplug is for isolating
a chunk of page from buddy allocator.)
Consideration:
Maybe more codes can be shared with other functions
(memory hotplug, compaction..)
Status:
Maybe still needs more updates, works on small test.
[1/3] ... move some codes from memory hotplug. (no functional changes)
[2/3] ... a code for searching contiguous pages.
[3/3] ... a code for allocating contig memory.
Thanks,

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Memory hotplug is a logic for making pages unused in the specified range
of pfn. So, some of core logics can be used for other purpose as
allocating a very large contigous memory block.
This patch moves some functions from mm/memory_hotplug.c to
mm/page_isolation.c. This helps adding a function for large-alloc in
page_isolation.c with memory-unplug technique.
