23 * compact_control is used to track pages being migrated and the free pages
24 * they are being migrated to during memory compaction. The free_pfn starts
25 * at the end of a zone and migrate_pfn begins at the start. Movable pages
26 * are moved to the end of a zone during a compaction run and the run
27 * completes when free_pfn <= migrate_pfn
