David Hildenbrand e8decafefb powerpc/pseries/cmm: Switch to balloon_page_alloc()
balloon_page_alloc() will use GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE in case we have
CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION. This is now possible, as balloon pages are
movable with CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION. Without
CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION, GFP_HIGHUSER is used.

Note that apart from that, balloon_page_alloc() uses the following
flags:
    __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NORETRY | __GFP_NOWARN
And current code used:
    GFP_NOIO | __GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_NORETRY | __GFP_NOMEMALLOC

GFP_HIGHUSER/GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE include
    __GFP_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS | __GFP_HARDWALL | __GFP_HIGHMEM

GFP_NOIO is __GFP_RECLAIM.

With CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION, we essentially add:
    __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS | __GFP_HARDWALL | __GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE

Without CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION, we essentially add:
    __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS | __GFP_HARDWALL | __GFP_HIGHMEM

I assume this is fine, as this is what all other balloon compaction
users use. If it turns out to be a problem, we could add __GFP_MOVABLE
manually if we have CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
