That's better, but not as flexible as the previously proposed approaches 
that Sergey pointed you at:

  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1507.0/03233.html
  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1508.1/00696.html

There the operations are reachable via mapping, so we can support the 
special operations migration also when mapping is otherwise needed; your 
patch excludes mapping.
