Why wouldn't we want to dump DEVICE_COHERENT pages? This looks wrong.
This function later calls isolate_lru_page, which is something you can't
do with a device page.
Then, that code might require care instead. We most certainly don't want
to have random memory holes in a dump just because some anonymous memory
was migrated to DEVICE_COHERENT.
I don't think this code is for core dumps. The call chain I see is
SYSCALL_DEFINE6(move_pages, ...) -> kernel_move_pages -> do_pages_move
-> add_page_for_migration
As far as I can tell this is for NUMA migrations.
