Great, you crossed off this old TODO item, and didn't need pageblock isolation
to do that :D
I have just one worry...

What about MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks and compaction for non-movable allocation,
won't that violate CMA expecteations?
And less critically, this will avoid the migratetype stealing decisions and
actions, potentially resulting in worse fragmentation avoidance?
