Yes. This decision is not so simple, I tried a few variations before
settling on this.

The main reason is probably this: if we don't use VM_MIXEDMAP, then we
can't set pte_devmap(). If we don't set pte_devmap(), then every single
page that GUP processes needs to check if it's a ZONE_DEVICE page and
also if it's a P2PDMA page (thus dereferencing pgmap) in order to
satisfy the requirements of FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA.

I didn't think other developers would go for that kind of performance
hit. With VM_MIXEDMAP we hide the performance penalty behind the
existing check. And with the current pgmap code as is, we only need to
do that check once for every new pgmap pointer.
