AFAIU all non-negative pfns are technically valid pfns if the machine
is big enough.

I could have this function return long long instead of unsigned long
so I can return a negative number for errors, and then cast to
unsigned long when I figure out it's actually a pfn. Seemed like such
a hassle especially since the call site is just tracing that I figured
it's not that worth it.

Ah, It's used by the GVE devmem implementation:
https://github.com/mina/linux/commit/da89baa81873d457cbf7b49ee6b4f0d66855b205

I could leave it out of this patch, then add it with the follow up GVE
devmem implementation, but I figured almost for sure drivers are going
to need this eventually, and it's small, so just put it here.

Thanks done. I implemented most of your other comments on all the
patches btw. I'm only responding to the ones I didn't apply for
various reasons. Thanks for the review!
