Migration is completely generalized so that migrating mobile page
is processed with lru-pages in move_to_new_page.

Why not just fold this to Patch 3? You already modify this hunk there, and prior to patch 3, the hunk was balloon-pages specific. You made it look generic only to remove it, which is unneeded code churn and I don't think it adds anything wrt e.g. bisectability.
