Do you mean missing __GFP_MOVABLE? I can be wrong, but I don't see that it
direclty affects if the page is migratable. It is a hint to page allocator
to group unmovable pages to separate page block and impove availablity of
higher order pages this way. Page allocator tries to allocate unmovable
pages from pages blocks that already have unmovable pages.
