How does that work, I see the word migration, so does it cause pages to
be migrated out of ZONE_MOVABLE before they are pinned?
Similarly for io-uring we could be migrating pages to be pinned so that
the end up consolidated close together, and prevent pathologic
situations like in David's reproducer. IIRC that was a idea to do for
long-term pins in general.
