It doesn't build or do you mean it doesn't apply? Assuming the problem
was that it didn't apply then try this one. It applies on top of
next-20120928 which is the closest tag I have to next-20120926.

mm: compaction: Cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated -fix3

CMA requires that the PG_migrate_skip hint be skipped but it was only
skipping it when isolating pages for migration, not for free. Ensure
cc->isolate_skip_hint gets passed in both cases.

This is a fix for
mm-compaction-cache-if-a-pageblock-was-scanned-and-no-pages-were-isolated-fix.patch
