I've just tried to build the current mm-new tree. I'm getting this
error:

 error: ‘MIGRATE_CMA’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘MIGRATE_SYNC’?
  557 |                 migratetype = MIGRATE_CMA;
      |                               ^~~~~~~~~~~
      |                               MIGRATE_SYNC

>From what I can tell, MIGRATE_CMA is only defined if CONFIG_CMA is
enabled (for x86 defconfig its disabled).
