Can we have flags for alloc_contig_range() instead of passing in a 
(weird) migratetype?

Then, we should make sure that we warn if we try a CMA allocation on any 
pageblock that is not of type CMA.

I'm trying to remember what happens if we try offlining a memory region 
that is of type MIGRATE_CMA right now ... I remember that we fail it. We 
should make sure that is still the case, otherwise we could seriously 
break something.
