[PATCH 4/5] Swap Migration V5: MPOL_MF_MOVE interface

[Christoph Lameter]

Add page migration support via swap to the NUMA policy layer

This patch adds page migration support to the NUMA policy layer. An additional
flag MPOL_MF_MOVE is introduced for mbind. If MPOL_MF_MOVE is specified then
pages that do not conform to the memory policy will be evicted from memory.
When they get pages back in new pages will be allocated following the numa policy.

Changes V4->V5
- make nodemask_t * parameter const

Changes V3->V4
- migrate_page_add: Do pagelist processing directly instead
  of doing it via isolate_lru_page().
- Use the migrate_pages() to evict the pages.

Changes V2->V3
- Add check to not migrate pages shared with other processes (but allow
  migration of memory shared between threads having a common mm_struct)
- MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL to override and move even pages shared with other
  processes. This only works if the process issuing this call has
  CAP_SYS_RESOURCE because this enables the moving of pages owned
  by other processes.
- MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK (internal use only) to not check for continuous VMAs.
  Enable MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK if policy to be set is NULL (default policy).

Changes V1->V2
- Add vma_migratable() function for future enhancements.
- No side effects on WARN_ON
- Remove move_pages for now
- Make patch fit 2.6.14-rc4-mm1
