IIRC this is the last part:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220524190632.3304-1-alex.sierra@xxxxxxx/

And the earlier bit with Christoph's pieces looks like it might get
merged to v5.19..

The general idea is once pte_devmap is not set then all the
refcounting works the way it should. This is what all new ZONE_DEVICE
users should do..
