Dear Maintainer,

Please enable CONFIG_COMPACTION on the Alpha linux kernel. It was
disabled in 6.13.3-1~exp1 because of a bug in the kernel leading to
occasional memory corruption in userspace, but has been fixed in the
kernel since v7.0 with upstream commit dd5712f3379cfe76026.

Regards,
Michael.
