THP degradation by increasing MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE?
Lin said most of GUP pages release the page in short so is it really problem?
Even in embedded, we don't use THP yet but CMA and GUP call would be not too often
but failing of CMA would be critical.

I'd like to hear opinions.
If aio was given a callback to migrate the pages on, it could just migrate 
the pages as needed.  There's nothing fundamental preventing that approach.
