The intended semantics of pfn_valid() is to verify whether there is a
struct page for the pfn in question and nothing else.

Should there be a comment affirming this semantics interpretation, above the
generic pfn_valid() in include/linux/mmzone.h ?


Yet, on arm64 it is used to distinguish memory areas that are mapped in the
linear map vs those that require ioremap() to access them.

Introduce a dedicated pfn_is_memory() to perform such check and use it
where appropriate.

Should not this be generic though ? There is nothing platform or arm64
specific in here. Wondering as pfn_is_memory() just indicates that the
pfn is linear mapped, should not it be renamed as pfn_is_linear_memory()
instead ? Regardless, it's fine either way.

TBH, I dislike (generic) pfn_is_memory(). It feels like we're mixing concepts. NOMAP memory vs !NOMAP memory; even NOMAP is some kind of memory after all. pfn_is_map_memory() would be more expressive, although still sub-optimal.

We'd actually want some kind of arm64-specific pfn_is_system_memory() or the inverse pfn_is_device_memory() -- to be improved.
