page migration as far as i saw cant migrate anonymous page into kernel page.
if you want we can change page_migration to do that, but i thought you will
rather have ksm changes separate.

What do you mean by kernel page? The kernel can allocate a page and then
point a user space pte to it. That is how page migration works.
i mean filebacked page (!AnonPage())
ksm need the pte inside the vma to point from anonymous page into filebacked page
can migrate.c do it without changes?
