Subject[PATCH 2/4] alloc_contig_pages() find appropriate physical memory range
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

Unlike memory hotplug, at an allocation of contigous memory range, address
may not be a problem. IOW, if a requester of memory wants to allocate 100M of
of contigous memory, placement of allocated memory may not be a problem.
So, "finding a range of memory which seems to be MOVABLE" is required.

This patch adds a functon to isolate a length of memory within [start, end).
This function returns a pfn which is 1st page of isolated contigous chunk
of given length within [start, end).

If no_search=true is passed as argument, start address is always same to
the specified "base" addresss.

After isolation, free memory within this area will never be allocated.
But some pages will remain as "Used/LRU" pages. They should be dropped by
page reclaim or migration.

Changelog: 2010-11-17
- fixed some conding style (if-then-else)
