Actually I'm not so sure now. Presumably you add VM_PFNMAP to make
vm_normal_page() return NULL? But actually I would expect pte_pfn() to
return max_mapnr because the mapped page is not a local page. And that
should cause vm_normal_page() to return NULL always, regardless of whether
you assert VM_PFNMAP. Is gntdev being used to grant-and-map local pages in
the test that causes the crash?
