    So long as the user has some reasonable right to change the affected
    tasks memory layout, and so long as they are moving memory within the
    cpuset constraints (if any) of the affected task, or as close to that
    as practical (such as with ECC soft error avoidance), then yes, it would
    seem that this sys_migrate_pages() lets existing pages be moved without
    changing the cpuset policy for the future.
