Looks as sane direction but if we are going to abstract checks when
ZONE_DEVICE page is idle, we should also update e.g.
mm/swap.c:put_devmap_managed_page() or
mm/gup.c:__unpin_devmap_managed_user_page() (there may be more places like
this but I found at least these two...). Maybe Dan has more thoughts about
this.
