This is racy unless you can be certain that the pfn and resulting page
has already been pinned by get_user_pages(). This is why I told David
to steer clear of adding more is_zone_device_page() usage, it's
difficult to audit. Without an existing pin the metadata to determine
whether a page is ZONE_DEVICE or not could be in the process of being
torn down. Ideally KVM would pass around a struct { struct page *page,
unsigned long pfn } tuple so it would not have to do this "recall
context" dance on every pfn operation.
