Unfortunatelly not. Migration code doesn't tell a difference between
ephemeral and permanent failures. We are relying on
start_isolate_page_range to tell us this. So the question is, what kind
of page is not migratable and for what reason.

Are you able to add some debugging to give us more information. The
current debugging code in the hotplug/migration sucks...
