I chose "migration" because device private pages seemed like a good way of 
reusing existing code to do what was required (a callback on CPU access).

However I have been reworking this to use mmu notifiers as the callback and it 
seems to simplify some things nicely so think I also agree. It removes the 
requirement for the pin as well which is nice, I'll post it as a v2 soon.
