Personally, the keyword "PFN" looks to me a little too generic, so I prefer
"PFNMAP" or "PFN_MAP" because memory_failure() is anyway called with pfn
regardless of being backed by struct page.

You add a new case using @pgoff, and now we have 3 such cases, so could you
update the comment to itemize them (which makes it easier to read and update)?

It seems that your new driver is built only in limited configuration/architecture,
so loosening the condition instead of simply removing might be better.

register_pfn_address_space and unregister_pfn_address_space are not compiled if
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE is not set, so maybe your new driver might need to depend
on this config.

If rc == 0 at this point, the given pfn seems to be outside the GPU memory,
so that should be considered as "Invalid address" case whose check is removed
by patch 5/6. So it might be better to sperate the case from "do handling
for non struct page pfn" case.

Could you call action_result() to print out the summary line.
It has some other common things like accounting and tracepoint.

This might break exisiting corner case about DAX device, so maybe this should
be checked after confirming that pfn_to_online_page returns NULL.

This path is chosen when pfn_valid returns true, which cannot happen for GPU
memory's case?
