So, you need to support all these things, but not autonuma or hugetlbfs?
 What's the reasoning behind that?

If you *really* don't want a "cdm" page to be migrated, then why isn't
that policy set on the VMA in the first place?  That would keep "cdm"
pages from being made non-cdm.  And, why would autonuma ever make a
non-cdm page and migrate it in to cdm?  There will be no NUMA access
faults caused by the devices that are fed to autonuma.

I'm confused.
