one could allocate page_t for the PCI device-side buffer case too (with
discontigmem to avoid a terrible waste), but it would still be a small
waste. So for non-ram it's better you always map all ptes during ->mmap
and you avoid the page faults like with remap_file_pages than to
allocate a page_t for non-ram ranges with discontigmem.
