... instead, look them up statically based on the page type. Maybe in the
future we want a registration interface? At least for now, it can be
easily handled using the two page types that actually support page
migration.

The remaining usage of page->mapping is to flag such pages as actually
being movable (having movable_ops), which we will change next.

What happens if:
    CONFIG_ZSMALLOC=y
    CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n
    CONFIG_COMPACTION=n
    CONFIG_MIGRATION=y
Pages are never allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE/CMA and
I don't understand how that's true, neither zram nor zsmalloc clears
__GFP_MOVABLE when CONFIG_COMPACTION=n?

...Or perhaps I'm still missing some pieces ;)
You might have found a bug in zsmalloc then :) Without support for compaction, we
must clear __GFP_MOVABLE in alloc_zpdesc() I assume.

Do you have the capacity to look into that and send a fix if really broken?
I'll add that to somehwere in my TODO list :)

1) confirming if it's really broken and
2) fixing it if so.
 
In balloon compaction code we properly handle that.
