It seems clear that this was never meant to work with < 64-bit pfns:

// migrate.h excerpt:
#define MIGRATE_PFN_VALID (1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - 1))
#define MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE (1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - 2))
#define MIGRATE_PFN_HUGE (1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - 3))
#define MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED (1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - 4))
#define MIGRATE_PFN_WRITE (1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - 5))
#define MIGRATE_PFN_DEVICE (1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - 6))
#define MIGRATE_PFN_ERROR (1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - 7))
#define MIGRATE_PFN_MASK ((1UL << (BITS_PER_LONG_LONG - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1)

...obviously, there is not enough room for these flags, in a 32-bit pfn.

So, given the current HMM design, I think we are going to have to provide a 32-bit version of these routines (migrate_pfn_to_page, and related) that is a no-op, right?
