It is often known at allocation time when a page may be migrated or not. This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing storage and discarding.
Additional credit goes to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector and ramfs allocations.
