... what?

Haven't you just made it so that a devmap page always prints a bad PTE
message, and then returns NULL anyway?

Surely this should be:

		if (pte_devmap(pte))
-			return NULL;
+			return pfn_to_page(pfn);

or maybe

+			goto check_pfn;

But I don't know about that highest_memmap_pfn check.

It seems a shame to add a new function without proper kernel-doc.
