I think you might have to add (see pfn_valid())

if (PHYS_PFN(PFN_PHYS(pfn)) != pfn)
return 0;

to catch false positives.

As discussed, in the future it would be nice if we could just rely on
the memmap state. There are cases where pfn_is_map_memory() will now be
slower than pfn_valid() -- e.g., we don't check for valid_section() in
case of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM. This would apply where pfn_valid() would have
returned "0".

As we're not creating the direct map, kern_addr_valid() shouldn't need
love. It'd be some kind of ugly if some generic code used by arm64 would
be relying in case of arm64 on pfn_valid() to return the expected
result; I doubt it.
