Seems reasonable. Of course you need to at least 
save/restore the old CPU policy, and use a subset of it.

Another approach would be to migrate this on touch, but that is probably
slightly more difficult. The advantage would be that on multiple
migrations it would follow. And it would be a bit slower for
the initial case.
