We may have to be smarter than this here. I'd like to encourage the
enterprise Linux distributions to set CONFIG_MEMORY_MIRROR=y
But the reality is that most systems will not configure any mirrored
memory - so we don't want the common code path for memory
allocation to call functions that set the migrate type, try to allocate
and then fall back to a non-mirror when that may be a complete waste
of time.

Maybe a global "got_mirror" that is true if we have some mirrored
memory.  Then code is

	if (got_mirror && change_to_mirror(...))
