Re: mm/Kconfig: warning: (COMPACTION && EXPERIMENTAL && HUGETLB_PAGE&& MMU) selects MIGRATION which has unmet direct dependencies (NUMA || ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE)

Argh, forgot...

[ mm/Kconfig ]
...
#
# support for page migration
#
config MIGRATION
        bool "Page migration"
        def_bool y
        depends on NUMA || ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
        help
          Allows the migration of the physical location of pages of processes
          while the virtual addresses are not changed. This is useful in
          two situations. The first is on NUMA systems to put pages nearer
          to the processors accessing. The second is when allocating huge
          pages as migration can relocate pages to satisfy a huge page
          allocation instead of reclaiming.
