We would like to retain the original fragmentation_index as it is.
Because in some cases people may be using it without kcompactd.
In such cases, future kernel upgrades will suffer.
In my opinion fragmentation_index should work just based on zones and order.

I don't understand the concern. If you pass 'false' to ignore_suitable, you get the standard behavior. Only kcompactd uses the altered behavior.
