I also need following patch to make CONFIG_CMA=y && CONFIG_COMPACTION=y case
work:
From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <b.zolnierkie@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated - cma fix
Patch "mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages
were isolated" needs a following fix to successfully boot next-20121002
kernel (same with next-20121008) with CONFIG_CMA=y and CONFIG_COMPACTION=y
(with applied -fix1, -fix2, -fix3 patches from Mel Gorman and also with
cmatest module from Thierry Reding compiled in).
