Ok, this is a bikeshed, but I think it is important. I think these
should be called MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC and MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE. The
reason is that persistence has nothing to do with the code paths that
deal with the pmem use case of ZONE_DEVICE. The only property the mm
cares about is that the address range behaves the same as host memory
for dma and cpu accesses. The "unaddressable" designation always
confuses me because a memory range isn't memory if it's
"unaddressable". It is addressable, it's just "private" to the device.

I think the only attribute that belongs here is @type, the rest are
specific to the device_private case.
struct dev_private_pagemap {
dev_page_fault_t page_fault;
dev_page_free_t page_free;
void *data;
struct dev_pagemap pgmap;
};
As Logan pointed out we can kill the internal struct page_map in
kernel/memremap.c and let devm_memremap_pages() take a "struct
dev_pagemap *" pointer. That way when future dev_pagemap users come
along they can wrap the core structure with whatever specific data
they need for their use case.

The use of the "device" term is ambiguous. Since these changes are
specific to the MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE can we reflect "private" in the
name? Change "device" to "devpriv" or "device_private"?

Reading this it isn't clear whether we are dealing with the public or
private case. I think this should be:
if (count == 1)
zone_device_page_free(page);
...where zone_device_page_free() is a helper that is explicit about
the expectations of which ZONE_DEVICE types need to take action on a
'free' event.
static void zone_device_page_free(struct page *page)
{
struct dev_private_pagemap *priv_pgmap;
if (page->pgmap->type == MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC)
return;
priv_pgmap = container_of(page->pgmap, typeof(*priv_pgmap), pgmap);
priv_pgmap->page_free(page);

This goes away if we convert to passing in the dev_pagemap, and I
think that is a useful cleanup.
