I guess it is still debatable, but is arguably more correct than
'kvm_is_mmio_pfn'

I was reluctant to choose something like 'kvm_is_special_pfn' because
'special' is not very discriminating here, and at least 'reserved' has
a very clear meaning wrt pages, and treating non-struct page backed
pfn's as reserved implicitly is not counter-intuitive imo.

I hadn't spotted this myself, to be honest, but that second test was
redundant to begin with, i.e., we never enter the block for a reserved
page.
I can remove it here, or in a followup patch, as you [plural] prefer.
