[PATCH 0/4] NUMA balancing related fixlets

[Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>]

The following is in reaction to the thread "pipe/page fault oddness".
The first patch cleans up a lot of mess related to ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE.
It's already in Andrew's tree but included here for context.

The second patch removes a race between migration and mprotect, particularly
from compaction context.

The third patch should have no real effect but it's an oversight that
should be corrected in case MPOL_MF_LAZY is exposed to userspace.

The fourth patch addresses a problem whereby a split_huge_page can leave
a pte_numa PTE in the wrong location and is one potential source of the
bug Dave observed.

Note that none of this prevents a pte_protnone approach being applied on
top or replacing patch 4 with it.  They should not be in conflict but if
patch 4 in particular addresses Dave's problem then it may be considerably
lower risk for 3.17.
