As a followup to Roman's question and your answer about adding a suffix/prefix
to the new structure. It 'may' be a bit confusing as alloc_context is already
defined and *ac is passsed around for page allocations. Perhaps, this new
structure could somehow have migrate in the name as it is all about allocating
migrate targets?

Patch makes sense.

I assume the removal of compound_head(page) was intentional? Just asking
because PageHuge will look at head page while page_hstate will not. So,
if passed a non-head page things could go bad.
