find_alloc_contig_pages() is a new interface that attempts to locate
and allocate a contiguous range of pages. It is provided as a more
convenient interface to the existing alloc_contig_range() interface
which is used by CMA, memory hotplug and gigantic huge pages.
When attempting to allocate a range of pages, migration is employed
if possible. There is no guarantee that the routine will succeed.
So, the user must be prepared for failure and have a fall back plan.
