This is a pretty large and complex patchset.  I skimmed the patches
(and have one trivial comment) then queued them up for a bit of
testing.  I've asked Mel if he can find time to review the changes
(please).

btw, it would be helpful if this [patch 0/n] had a decent overview of
the patch series - what are the objectives, how were they achieved,
what value they have to our users, testing results, etc.

mm-prepare-to-remove-proc-sys-vm-hugepages_treat_as_movable.patch had a
conflict with
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-hugetlb-move-up-the-code-which-check-availability-of-free-huge-page.patch
which I resolved in the obvious manner.  Please check that from a
runtime perspective.
