As mentioned above, it works only for 16MB HugeTLB page migration on 64K base
pages implemented right on the PMD as a single PTE but not for the 16MB HugeTLB
page on 4K base pages implemented through huge page directory. As generic
VM migrate code does not look into the page table structure when initiating
migration of 16MB on 4K it will just fail without stating the reason which
might be some times confusing. I can edit the commit message to capture this
point if needed.
