    This bit still worries me a little.

    Between the compact list management code, the migrate
    daemon, the list locking and page queuing and unqueuing
    code, we are looking at 1000-2000 lines of code.

    I know your reasoning why asynchronous migration done
    by a kernel thread should be better than migrate-on-fault,
    but there is no actual evidence that it is in fact true.

    Would it be an idea to simplify the code for now, and
    add the asynchronous migration later on, if there are
    compelling benchmark results that show it to be useful?

    The amount of source code involved is large enough that
    a justification like that would be useful, IMHO...
