One thing though. I dont recall how persistent memory ZONE_DEVICE
pages are handled inside the page tables, point here is it should
be part of the same code block. We should catch that its a device
memory page and then figure out addressable or not and act
accordingly. Because persistent memory are CPU addressable, there
might not been special code block but dealing with device pages
should be handled in a more holistic manner.

Okay.
