Excuse me, I am not quite sure your meaning is the whole contents of the
patch is worthless, or only for the "comment placement"?

For the "comment placement" the common way is below, but still make git
grep harder:

-#define __GFP_MOVABLE ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_MOVABLE) /* ZONE_MOVABLE allowed */
+/* ZONE_MOVABLE allowed */
+#define __GFP_MOVABLE ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_MOVABLE)

Then how about:

-#define __GFP_MOVABLE ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_MOVABLE) /* ZONE_MOVABLE allowed */
+#define __GFP_MOVABLE \
((__force gfp_t)___GFP_MOVABLE) /* ZONE_MOVABLE allowed */

or:

-#define __GFP_MOVABLE ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_MOVABLE) /* ZONE_MOVABLE allowed */
+#define __GFP_MOVABLE /* ZONE_MOVABLE allowed */ \
((__force gfp_t)___GFP_MOVABLE)


Thanks.
