The name PageBuddy is getting to be misleading. Maybe rename this to
PageFree or so?

Why do you need to break them all up? Easier to coalesce later?

if (PageSlab(page) && page->slab->ops->kick) {
migratable slab
}
if (page table page) {
migratable page table page?
}
etc?

Support for other ways of migrating a page?

You do not need to check the result of migration? Page migration is a best
effort that may fail.
Looks good otherwise.
