This doesn't work when copying CMA allocated memory since CMA purposely
allocates larger than a page block size without setting head pages.
Given CMA may be used with drivers doing zero copy buffers, I think it
should be permitted.

Something like the following lets it pass (I can clean up and submit
the is_migrate_cma_page APIs as a separate patch for review)

Yeah, this would be great. I'd rather use an accessor to check this
than a direct check for MIGRATE_CMA.

Yeah, I'll modify this a bit so that which type it starts as is
maintained for all pages (rather than allowing to flip back and forth
-- even though that is likely impossible).

Sorry, I completely missed the MIGRATE_CMA bits. Could you clarify if you
caught this in testing/review?

Balbir Singh.

I caught it while looking at the code and then wrote a test case to confirm
I was correct because I wasn't sure how to easily find an in tree user.

Thanks,
