Indeed you are correct, never mind
Hum, so the only thing this config does is short circuit here:
static inline bool is_device_public_page(const struct page *page)
{
return IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS) &&
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEVICE_PUBLIC) &&
is_zone_device_page(page) &&
page->pgmap->type == MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC;
}
Which is called all over the place..
So, yes, we really don't want any distro or something to turn this on
until it has a use.
