In the context of this patch, guest memory would be treated similarly meaning the device-dax backing memory wouldn't have a 'struct page' (as introduced in this series).

Or you had something else in mind, perhaps related to your LSFMM topic? Here the memory can't be used by the kernel (and there's no struct page) except from device-dax managing/tearing/driving the pfn region (which is static and the underlying PFNs won't change throughout device lifetime), and vfio pinning/unpinning the pfns (which are refcounted against multiple map/unmaps); > This code needs to be deleted, not extended :( To some extent it isn't really an extension: the patch was just removing the assumption @vm_pgoff being the 'start pfn' on PFNMAP vmas. This is also similarly done by get_vaddr_frames().
