If migrate_pages() failed to migrate one 4k pages then it returns 1, yes? But if migrate_pages() fails to migrate one 2MB hugepage then will it return 1 or will it return 512? And how can the caller actually _use_ this return value without knowing the above information? In other words, perhaps this function should simply return pass/fail?
