Could you explain what do you mean?

I think these helpers are the right ones to use, as afaict hugetlb
migration should follow the same pte format with !hugetlb. However, I
noticed I did it wrong when dropping the temp var - when at [1], "entry"
still points to the src entry, but at [2] it's already pointing to the
newly created one.. so I think I can't drop the var, a fixup should like:

Besides, did I miss something else?
