[PATCH] Direct Migration V9: Avoid writeback / page_migrate() method
Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback
This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used
by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.
A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some
filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.
The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular
migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages
forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).
