I disagree. A device private entry is independent of a PMD migration entry, 
since a device private
entry is just a swap entry, which is available when 
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. So for architectures
support THP but not THP migration (like ARM64), your code should still work.

I would suggest you to check all the use of is_swap_pmd() and make sure the code
can handle is_device_private_entry().

For new device private code, you might need to guard it either statically or 
dynamically in case
CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE is disabled. Potentially, you would like to make sure a 
system without
CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE will not see is_device_private_entry() == true and give 
errors when it does.

Well, that depends. If we can allocate a THP on CPU memory, we can migrate the 
whole page back.
But if no THP is allocated due to low on free memory or memory fragmentation, I 
think you
might need a fallback plan, either splitting the device private page and 
migrating smaller
pages instead or reclaiming CPU memory until you get a THP. IMHO, the former 
might be preferred,
since the latter might cost a lot of CPU cycles but still gives no THP after 
all.
