Yes. :)

page_to_migration_pfn() and migration_pfn_to_page()

But really, we should only be dealing with folio migration longterm ...

All that code should be converted to folios (unless I am missing
something important). We only support migration of folios, and all
ZONE_DEVICE pages correspond to folios.

E.g., in migrate_vma_setup() we're implicitly converting from page to
folio multiple times, which is rather wasteful.

Now, I don't think the conversion is your responsibility :)

But you'd provide the folio helpers and use them where we can already.

I'm fine with leaving the code the still operates purely on page to be
converted later.
