Perhaps we're missing something, as we're not doing any special marking 
for the device public pfn/entries.
pfn_valid return true, pte_special return false and pfn_t_devmap return 
false on these pages. Same as system pages.
That's the reason vm_normal_page returns the page correctly through 
pfn_to_page helper.
