    A zone device page could have a mem_cgroup charge if

    1. The old page was charged to a cgroup and the new page from ZONE_DEVICE then
    gets the charge that we need to drop here

    And should not be charged

    2. If the driver allowed mmap based allocation (these pages are not on LRU


    Since put_zone_device_private_or_public_page() is called from release_pages(),
    I think the assumption is that 2 is not a problem? I've not tested the mmap
    bits yet.

    I am trying to remind myself why THP and MEMORY_DEVICE_* pages don't work well
    together today, the driver could allocate a THP size set of pages and migrate it.
    There are patches to do THP migration, not upstream yet. Could you remind me
    of any other limitations?
