So after this all the pfn_valid() usage in kvm_main.c is replaced with pfn_to_online_page()? Looks correct to me. However, I'm worried that kvm is taking reference on ZONE_DEVICE pages through some other path resulting in this: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvdimm/20190919154708.ga24...@angband.pl/ I'll see if this patch set modulates or maintains that failure mode.
