Yeah, we've found NUMA balancing in general is pretty unhelpful for HMM based
migrations and mappings so have been looking into ways of disabling it for HMM
ranges.

Sounds similar to the problem I was referring to, except in my case I was
seeing contention on the page reference checks due to lots of threads hitting
__migration_entry_wait() at just the wrong time. I am working on a fix for that
that avoids taking the reference at all, however I think retry logic will still
be needed and suspect a driver is probably the best place to implement that.
