The issue is, once I check for pfn_to_online_page(), these functions
can't handle ZONE_DEVICE at all anymore. Especially in regards to
memory_failure() I don't think this is acceptable. So while I
(personally) only care about adding pfn_to_online_page() checks, the
in-this-sense-fragile-subsection ZONE_DEVICE implementation requires me
to introduce a temporary check for initialized memmaps.

Yeah, I also expressed my feelings and the issues to be solved by
ZONE_DEVICE people in https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/6/114. However, the
discussion stalled and nobody really proposed a solution or followed up.

I want to have this fixed now, as it is much easier to trigger with
"[PATCH v6 00/10] mm/memory_hotplug: Shrink zones before removing
memory" for !ZONE_DEVICE.

As we already do have a similar check (pfn_zone_device_reserved()) that
I merely convert for now, I will summarize and make it clearer that this
is something that should be reworked by ZONE_DEVICE people rather sooner
than later.

Thanks!
