Hi,

I'm pleased to say I've cleaned up the memory hotremoval patch
Mr. Iwamoto implemented. Part of ugly code has gone.

Main changes are:

  - Replaced the name remap with mmigrate as it was used for
    another fuctionality.

  - Made some of the memory hotremoval code share with the swapout-code.

  - Added many comments to describe the design of the memory hotremoval.

  - Added a basic funtion to support for memsection.
    try_to_migrate_page() is it. It continues to get a proper page
    in a specified section and migrate it while there remain pages
    in the section.

The patches are against linux-2.6.7.

Note that some patches are to fix bugs. Without the patches hugetlbpage
migration won't work.

Thanks,
Hirokazu Takahashi.
