At this point, a second part of the (rather long) routine begins. If I
were refactoring this, I'd split it into a top level routine that calls
the two parts:

check_and_migrate_movable_pages()
	collect_migration_candidates()
	unpin_and_migrate_pages()

...which I think would further help in working with this thing.

(I realize that this is additional work. And that it's best done as a
separate patch. And it's just a suggestion.)

-unpin_pages:
  	/*
-	 * pages[i] might be NULL if any device coherent pages were found.
+	 * Unpin all pages. If device coherent pages were found
+	 * migrate_deivce_coherent_page() will have already dropped the pin and

"migrate_device_coherent_page()"
