I thought migration at pgd level was added for POWER?  commit 94310cbcaa3c
(mm/madvise: enable (soft|hard) offline of HugeTLB pages at PGD level).
Only remember, because I did not fully understand the use case. :)

How about using hugepage_migration_supported instead?  It would automatically
catch those non-migratable huge page sizes.  Something like:

			if (PageHuge(page) &&
			    hugepage_migration_supported(page_hstate(page))) {
