Thanks Alex, couple of comments on this:

1. vm_normal_page() can return NULL so you need to add a check for
   page == NULL otherwise the call to is_zone_device_page(NULL) will crash.
2. The check for a coherent device page is too indirect. Being explicit and
   using is_zone_device_coherent_page() instead would make it more direct and
   obvious, particularly for developers who may not immediately realise that
   device-private pages should never have pte_present() entries.
