I think was thinking just encode the order in the migration PFN like HMM
does. Really only Nth order entry in the page array needs to be
populated then - HMM populates every entry though which doesn't seem
like that is required. Maybe having a folio API makes more sense?

I think it contained in the sense is the DRM SVM layer just allocates a
THP or large continous device memory and hands it off to migrate layer
and that layer does the right thing. The 'right thing' here I believe is
a decent amount of core MM work though.
