Here's a v2. Not the prettiest thing, admittedly.

Subject: [PATCH v2] mm, hugetlb: don't require CMA for runtime gigantic pages

Commit 944d9fec8d7a ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at
runtime") has added the runtime gigantic page allocation via
alloc_contig_range(), making this support available only when CONFIG_CMA is
enabled. Because it doesn't depend on MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks and the
associated infrastructure, it is possible with few simple adjustments to
require only CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION and CONFIG_COMPACTION instead of full
CONFIG_CMA.

After this patch, alloc_contig_range() and related functions are available
and used for gigantic pages with just CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION and
CONFIG_COMPACTION enabled (or CONFIG_CMA as before). Note CONFIG_CMA selects
CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION. This allows supporting runtime gigantic pages without
the CMA-specific checks in page allocator fastpaths.
