Two cleanups that popped up while working on (and discussing) virtio-mem:

Tested with DIMMs on x86.
As discussed with michal in v1, I'll soon look into removing the use
of PG_reserved during memory onlining completely - most probably
disallowing to offline memory blocks with holes, cleaning up the
onlining+offlining code.
BTW, I remember that ZONE_DEVICE pages are still required to be set
PG_reserved. That has to be sorted out first. I remember that somebody
was working on it a while ago but didn't hear about that again. Will
look into that as well - should be as easy as adding a zone check (if
there isn't a pfn_to_online_page() check already). But of course, there
might be special cases ....
