[PATCH] page migration reorg

Centralize the page migration functions in anticipation of additional
tinkering.  Creates a new file mm/migrate.c

1. Extract buffer_migrate_page() from fs/buffer.c

2. Extract central migration code from vmscan.c

3. Extract some components from mempolicy.c

4. Export pageout() and remove_from_swap() from vmscan.c

5. Make it possible to configure NUMA systems without page migration
   and non-NUMA systems with page migration.

I had to so some #ifdeffing in mempolicy.c that may need a cleanup.

Allows the migration of the physical location of pages of processes
while the virtual addresses are not changed. This is useful for
example on NUMA systems to put pages nearer to the processors accessing
the page.
