You are right. Page migration can invalidate subpage granularity even 
for locked pages. Is it possible to use cpusets to keep a task and its 
memory locked on a single node? Just wondering if there are limited 
cases where subpage granularity could work without supporting subpage 
granularity for tags in swap. It still sounds like the right thing to do 
is to get a reliable implementation in place with page size granularity 
and then add the complexity of subpage granularity.

Thanks,
Khalid
