Thank-you, thank-you.  <blush>

What about the suggestion I had that you sort of skipped over, which
amounted to changing the system call from a node array to just one
node:

    sys_page_migrate(pid, va_start, va_end, count, old_nodes, new_nodes);

to:

    sys_page_migrate(pid, va_start, va_end, old_node, new_node);

Doesn't that let you do all you need to?  Is it insane too?
