Ah, yes, thanks. I will fix this.

Yeah, this would be great. I'd rather use an accessor to check this
than a direct check for MIGRATE_CMA.

Yeah, I'll modify this a bit so that which type it starts as is
maintained for all pages (rather than allowing to flip back and forth
-- even though that is likely impossible).
