This "is_device_dax_page(page) || is_fsdax_page(page)" is a common theme 
here, likely we should have a special helper?


But, don't we actually want to include them in the smaps output now? I 
think we want.

The rmap code will indicate these pages in /proc/meminfo, per-node info, 
in the memcg ... as "Mapped:" etc.

So likely we just want to also indicate them here, or is there any 
downsides we know of?
