The patch description includes:
5. Make it possible to configure NUMA systems without page migration and non-NUMA systems with page migration.
I don't see the point in making this option visible for the majority of users on non-NUMA systems who will never need it.
When is it required on non-NUMA systems? Memory hotplug? Can we express this explicitely?
