HMM have already been integrated in couple of Red Hat kernel and AFAIK there is no runtime performance issue reported.

What can we do to improve this situation (a lot)? I will look into why object file grow so much on arm. My guess is that the new migrate code is the bulk of that. I can hide the new page migration code behind a kernel configuration flag. Cheers, Jérôme
