This patch redefines which GFP bits are used for specifying mobility and
the order of the migrate types. Once redefined it's possible to convert
GFP flags to a migrate type with a simple mask and shift. The only downside
is that readers of OOM kill messages and allocation failures may have been
used to the existing values but scripts/gfp-translate will help.

Yeah after patches 7 and 8, this is not much of a concern :)
