Yeah, I think the problem is that `target_host_mem_alloc` was never fully defined by @grokos. I interpreted it to mean that it's pinned memory that the device can access. I'm pretty sure coarse memory fits the bill there, but I don't know what the exact intention was with the "non-migratable" sentence.
