Andrew,
could you add this one to the bundle as well? After
mm-drop-migrate-type-checks-from-has_unmovable_pages.patch, please.

Joonsoo would like to see a larger change in this area [1] but I think
we need to think those much more through [2] and Joonsoo agreed to take
the simpler patch first [3].

Thanks!
