In terms of gup APIs, I've been wondering if this shall become
get_user_pages_longerm(FOLL_CMA_MIGRATE). So basically moving this
CMA migrate logic inside get_user_pages_longerm.

It depends if powerpc will ever need to bail on dax and/or if other
non-powerpc vfio drivers which are already bailing on dax may also
later optionally need to avoid interfering with CMA.

Aside from the API detail above, this CMA page migration logic seems a
good solution for the problem.

Thanks,
Andrea
