Add a configure option to group pages by mobility



The grouping mechanism has some memory overhead and a more complex allocation
path.  This patch allows the strategy to be disabled for small memory systems
or if it is known the workload is suffering because of the strategy.  It also
acts to show where the page groupings strategy interacts with the standard
buddy allocator.
