How you not to merge other pages on to a misplaced page? I don't see it.

When node will be removed from migrate_nodes list and insert to stable
tree?

Hard to understand this description. Could you explain it? :)

What will happen if page node of an unstable tree migrate to a new numa
node? Also need to handle colliding?

Why still set this magic since node has already insert to the tree?
