This probably belongs to a separate patch. I would be tempted to say
that we should get rid of this migratetype thingy altogether. I confess
I have forgot everything about why this is required actually but it is
ugly as hell. Not your fault of course.

It believe we want pfn_to_online_page here. The old giga pages code is
buggy in that regard but nothing really critical because the
alloc_contig_range will notice that.

Also do we want to check other usual suspects? E.g. PageReserved? And
generally migrateable pages if page count > 0. Or do we want to leave
everything to the alloc_contig_range?

Vlastimil asked about this but I would even say that we do not want to
make this order based. Why would we want to restrict the api to 2^order
sizes in the first place? What if somebody wants to allocate 123 pages?

I know that the giga page allocation does use the zone lock but why? I
suspect it wants to stabilize zone_start_pfn but zone lock doesn't do
that.

Other than that this API looks much saner than alloc_contig_range. We
still need to sort out some details (e.g. alignment) but it should be an
improvement.

Thanks!
