It is doable for isolation part. IOW, maybe we can make acct_isolated
simple with those counters but we need to handle migrate, putback part.
If you want to remove the check of __PageMoable with those counter, it
means we should pass the counter on every functions related migration
where isolate, migrate, putback parts.
