Hi,

This is done in addition to MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblock merge avoidance.
It prepares for the upcoming removal of the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment
requirement for CMA and alloc_contig_range().

MIGRARTE_HIGHATOMIC should not merge with other migratetypes like
MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRARTE_CMA[1], so this commit prevents that too.
Also add MIGRARTE_HIGHATOMIC to fallbacks array for completeness.

I would suggest spliting the patch into 2 parts.  The first part: no functioning change, just introduce migratetype_has_fallback()
and replace where it applys to.

  #define for_each_migratetype_order(order, type) \
  	for (order = 0; order < MAX_ORDER; order++) \
  		for (type = 0; type < MIGRATE_TYPES; type++)

Make zone->nr_reserved_highatomic != 0 a helper as zone_cma_pages()?

I'm not familiar with the code details, just wondering if this change would has side effects on cma
pageblock merging as it the condition stronger?
