DAX driver hotplug the device memory and move it to memory zone, these
pages will be marked reserved flag, however, some other kernel componet
will misconceive these pages are reserved mmio (ex: we map these dev_dax
or fs_dax pages to kvm for DIMM/NVDIMM backend). Together with the type
MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX, we can use is_dax_page() to differentiate the pages
is DAX device memory or not.

The patch looks OK to me but I don't really feel too confident about this
part of the kernel... But feel free to add my:
