But I do hope that you have made an unmissable note somewhere, that
the s390 and sparc set_huge_pte_at() will probably need fixing to handle
this non-present case, before hugepage migration can be allowed on them.

There's probably an easy patch for s390. but not so obvious for sparc
(which did not pretend to support hugepage migration before anyway).

And a followup not-for-stable cleanup to this patch would be nice:
testing is_hugetlb_entry_migration() and is_huge_tlb_entry_hwpoisoned()
separately, when they're doing almost the same thing, seems a bit daft.

Hmm, but maybe that should be part of a larger job: the handling of
non-swap swap-entries is tiresome in lots of places, I wonder if
there's a more convenient way of handling them everywhere.
