For the low-latency cases: page migration needs to be restricted to cpus
that are allowed to run high latency tasks or restricted to a time that no
low-latency responses are needed by the app. This means during setup or
special processing times (maybe after some action was completed).

A random compaction run can be very bad for a latency critical section.
