mm/migrate.c: In function 'unmap_and_move':
mm/migrate.c:899: error: 'COMPACTBALLOONRELEASED' undeclared (first use in this
function)
mm/migrate.c:899: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mm/migrate.c:899: error: for each function it appears in.)
You've been bad - you didn't test with your feature disabled.
Please do that. And not just compilation testing.
We can fix this one with a sucky macro. I think that's better than
unconditionally defining the enums.
