From: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: document zone device struct page field usage
Struct page for ZONE_DEVICE private pages uses the page->mapping and and
page->index fields while the source anonymous pages are migrated to device
private memory. This is so rmap_walk() can find the page when migrating
the ZONE_DEVICE private page back to system memory. ZONE_DEVICE pmem
backed fsdax pages also use the page->mapping and page->index fields when
files are mapped into a process address space.
Restructure struct page and add comments to make this more clear.
