[RFC PATCH v2 11/15] mm: Restructure the compaction part of CMA forwider use

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat
Date: Tue Apr 09 2013 - 17:52:35 EST


CMA uses bits and pieces of the memory compaction algorithms to perform
large contiguous allocations. Those algorithms would be useful for
memory power management too, to evacuate entire regions of memory.
So rewrite the code in a way that helps us to easily reuse the code for
both use-cases.
