[PATCH] page migration reorg
Centralize the page migration functions in anticipation of additional
tinkering. Creates a new file mm/migrate.c
1. Extract buffer_migrate_page() from fs/buffer.c
2. Extract central migration code from vmscan.c
3. Extract some components from mempolicy.c
4. Export pageout() and remove_from_swap() from vmscan.c
5. Make it possible to configure NUMA systems without page migration
and non-NUMA systems with page migration.
I had to so some #ifdeffing in mempolicy.c that may need a cleanup.
