Might we want to add a TODO in the code? We have a similar one in
mm/page_isolation.c:set_migratetype_isolate() and it's certainly a reminder
that something of value is missing.

Yes, that will be helpful. The below's what's in my mind, but if someone
has better idea, that's fine.

Just what I had in mind, thanks!
