[PATCHv21 00/16] Contiguous Memory Allocator

Hello,

This is yet another quick update on CMA patches (this should be the last
one, really). We fixed minor bug which might cause incorrect operation
of memory compaction code as well as merged some simple updates to
memory reclaim function called by alloc_contig_range. 

I really hope that this will be a last iteration of this series.

Best regards
