Yeah, at this point I think we need to just revert the compaction changes.

Guys, what's the minimal set of commits to revert? That clearly buggy
"rescue_unmovable_pageblock()" function was introduced by commit

That commit seems to revert cleanly still, but is that sufficient or
does it even matter?
