If anyone were ever to use unregister_mem_pfn_is_ram(),
pfn_is_ram() would become racy.

In V2 you had this:
+ fn = mem_pfn_is_ram;
+ if (fn)
+ ret = fn(pfn);

I agree it's unnecessary since nothing uses
unregister_mem_pfn_is_ram(). But then I think it would be best to
just drop the unregister function.

Otherwise the patch looks good to me.
