I also agree that, eventually, what I detail below (collecting mTHP or
THPs in PTEs) should be supported without a split, albeit enabled by a
different migrate_vma_direction flag than introduced in this series.

Reasoning for a differnet flag: Handling of mTHP/THP at the upper layers
(drivers) will have to adjusted if the THP doesn't align to a PMD.
Fairly mirror but upper layer should maintain control if they want
non-aligned mTHP/THP to PMDs collected.

I also just noticed an interface problem — migrate_vma does not define
flags as migrate_vma_direction, but I digress.
