* HPG_restore_reserve - Set when a hugetlb page consumes a reservation at
* allocation time. Cleared when page is fully instantiated. Free
* routine checks flag to restore a reservation on error paths.
* Synchronization: Examined or modified by code that knows it has
* the only reference to page. i.e. After allocation but before use
* or when the page is being freed.
* HPG_migratable - Set after a newly allocated page is added to the page
* cache and/or page tables. Indicates the page is a candidate for
* migration.
* Synchronization: Initially set after new page allocation with no
* locking. When examined and modified during migration processing
* (isolate, migrate, putback) the hugetlb_lock is held.
* HPG_temporary - - Set on a page that is temporarily allocated from the buddy
* allocator. Typically used for migration target pages when no pages
* are available in the pool. The hugetlb free page path will
* immediately free pages with this flag set to the buddy allocator.
* Synchronization: Can be set after huge page allocation from buddy when
* code knows it has only reference. All other examinations and
* modifications require hugetlb_lock.
* HPG_freed - Set when page is on the free lists.
* Synchronization: hugetlb_lock held for examination and modification.
