Your guess is right, users can give random physical address and that will be
translated into pfn.

Thank you for pointing out this!  I will use it in the next spin.  Also, this
code is stollen from page_idle_get_page().  Seems like it should also be
modified to use it.  I will send the patch for it, either.
