Thanks for taking the time to review this.

Because it's too late, the kernel has already been through device
resume code, and the free pages bitmap isn't valid anymore; device
resume code might allocate memory, and we'd be clearing those pages as
well.

Thanks, will be fixed.

Yes, it works fine for low memory too because kmap_atomic will just
return the page address if it's already mapped.
