The beauty of git/github is one can make branches to try out anything
they want even if Jed thinks that he knows better than Intel how to
write system software for Intel's hardware.

This link is equivalent to pushing the "Fork" button on Github's
memkind page: https://github.com/memkind/memkind#fork-destination-box.
I'm sure that the memkind developers would be willing to review your
pull request once you've implemented memkind_move_pages().
