Yes, that is what I would suggest. Results of a simple test on small VM.

Another option might be to make hugetlb pages more like other pages and
__SetPageMovable on movable hugetlb pages. This could be used instead
of hugepage_migration_supported() calls. That is only a quick thought
and would be beyond the scope of this patch. If people think that is
worth doing, and I have not overlooked something, I could look into it
separately.
