+ *    Migrate memory region from one set of nodes to another.
+ *
+ *    Temporarilly set tasks mems_allowed to target nodes of migration,
+ *    so that the migration code can allocate pages on these nodes.
+ *
+ *    Call holding manage_mutex, so our current->cpuset won't change
+ *    during this call, as manage_mutex holds off any attach_task()
+ *    calls.  Therefore we don't need to take task_lock around the
+ *    call to guarantee_online_mems(), as we know no one is changing
+ *    our tasks cpuset.
+ *
+ *    Hold callback_mutex around the two modifications of our tasks
+ *    mems_allowed to synchronize with cpuset_mems_allowed().
+ *
+ *    While the mm_struct we are migrating is typically from some
+ *    other task, the task_struct mems_allowed that we are hacking
+ *    is for our current task, which must allocate new pages for that
+ *    migrating memory region.
+ *
+ *    We call cpuset_update_task_memory_state() before hacking
+ *    our tasks mems_allowed, so that we are assured of being in
+ *    sync with our tasks cpuset, and in particular, callbacks to
+ *    cpuset_update_task_memory_state() from nested page allocations
+ *    won't see any mismatch of our cpuset and task mems_generation
+ *    values, so won't overwrite our hacked tasks mems_allowed
+ *    nodemask.
