6c1b7f680d memory hotplug: missing zone->lock in test_pages_isolated()
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock() in mm/page_isolation.c has a comment
saying that the caller must hold zone->lock. But the only caller of that
function, test_pages_isolated(), does not hold zone->lock and the lock is
also not acquired anywhere before. This patch adds the missing zone->lock
to test_pages_isolated().

We reproducibly run into BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages()
during memory hotplug stress test, see trace below. This patch fixes that
problem, it would be good if we could have it in 2.6.27.

dbc0e4cefd memory hotremove: unset migrate type "ISOLATE" after removal
We should unset migrate type "ISOLATE" when we successfully removed memory.
 But current code has BUG and cannot works well.

This patch also includes bugfix?  to change get_pageblock_flags to
get_pageblock_migratetype().

Thanks to Badari Pulavarty for finding this.

a5d76b54a3 memory unplug: page isolation
Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops.

This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this
 - MIGRATE_TYPES increases.
 - bitmap for migratetype is enlarged.

pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free.
By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not
a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages.

If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called,
 - migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE  if
   its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other
   memory reclaiming works make progress.
 - MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list.
 - All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated.
To check all pages in the range are isolated or not,  use test_pages_isolated(),
To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range().

Changes V6 -> V7
 - removed unnecessary #ifdef

There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..
