Maybe worth adding a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() just in case? Or do you think not worth it?

Not for now I think. Whoever wants to support compound pages has to fixup a bunch of other stuff first, before running into that one here.

So a full audit of all paths that handle page_has_movable_ops() is required either way.
