That makes more sense to the overall design. The comments I gave
before were driving at a promise to never try to touch a struct page
for ATTR_MMIO and think this should be comphrensive to never touching
a struct page even if pfnvalid.

I am wondering if there is some reason it was written like this in the
first place. Maybe we can't even do kmap here.. So perhaps if there is
not a strong reason to change it just continue to check pagehighmem
and fail.

if (!(attrs & ATTR_MMIO) && PageHighMem(phys_to_page(phys)))
   return;
