I do not think so

Apart from naming (hugepage_movable_supported?) the above doesn't do the
most essential thing to query whether the hugepage migration is
supported at all. Apart from that i would expect the logic to be revers.
We do not really support giga pages migration enough to support them in
movable zone.

And besides that this really want to live in htlb_alloc_mask because
this is really an allocation policy. It would be unmap_and_move_huge_page
to call hugepage_migration_supported. The later is the one to allow for
an arch specific override.

Makes sense?
