Can we rephrase that to (because zeropage) "Callers to follow_page() currently don't expect ZONE_DEVICE pages, however, with DEVICE_COHERENT we might now return ZONE_DEVICE. Check for ZONE_DEVICE pages in applicable users of follow_page() as well."

I assume that that is indeed fine because we can simply map device coherent pages writable. Besides the nits, LGTM Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <da...@redhat.com> -- Thanks, David / dhildenb
