Since I only care about memory mapping a buffer from reserve_mem to user
space, this series makes sure that a buffer created from memmap (or any
other physical memory area) is never used for mapping to user space. It
also prevents that buffer from being freed, as it is not part of the buddy
allocator and can't be added later.

That also means all the tricks to determine where the page in the ring
buffer came from can go away.
