I don't know, at a quick glance I'm guessing it's possible via /dev/mem?
But, get_page() isn't sufficient to properly grab a ZONE_DEVICE page, so
the WARN is a good thing and intentional.

So assuming the answer is "yes", perhaps hva_to_pfn_remapped() should
adds its own check on kvm_is_zone_device_pfn() and return -EINVAL or
something?  That'd likely end up kill the guest, but wouldn't break the
kernel.
