[Xen-devel] [PATCH] memory_hotplug: Free pages as higher order



When free pages are done with higher order, time spend on
coalescing pages by buddy allocator can be reduced. With
section size of 256MB, hot add latency of a single section
shows improvement from 50-60 ms to less than 1 ms, hence
improving the hot add latency by 60%.

Modify external providers of online callback to align with
the change.

Signed-off-by: Arun KS <arunks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes since RFC:
- Rebase.
- As suggested by Michal Hocko remove pages_per_block.
- Modifed external providers of online_page_callback.
