The code to implement THP migrations already exists, and the code
for CMA to clear out a region of memory already exists.
Only a few small tweaks are needed to allow CMA to move THP memory
when attempting an allocation from alloc_contig_range.
With these changes, migrating THPs from a CMA area works when
allocating a 1GB hugepage from CMA memory.
