FWIW the previous version of this feature which was removed in 25b2995a35b6
("mm: remove MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC support") had a similar comparison with
highest_memmap_pfn:
if (likely(pfn <= highest_memmap_pfn)) {
struct page *page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
if (is_device_public_page(page)) {
if (with_public_device)
return page;
return NULL;
}
}
