Argh, thanks for that pointer. I was not so familiar with
devm_request_free_mem_region()/devm_memremap_pages() as currently
Nouveau explicitly manages that itself.

Right - module unload (or device unbind) is one of the other ways we can
hit this issue in Nouveau at least. You can end up with ZONE_DEVICE
pages mapped in a running process after the module has unloaded.
Although now you mention it that seems a bit wrong - the pgmap refcount
should provide some protection against that. Will have to look into
that too.
