Yes you are right it should be handled by pfn_valid(), just like the 
entire VMALLOC range indeed. But on PPC32 a valid pfn might hit above 
vmalloc space as well.

You can find the new layout here : 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git/commit/?id=c7b9ed7c34a9f5dbf8222d63e3e313cef9f3150b

The only problem we have with pfn_valid() is for PPC32 because 
pfn_valid() also include highmem memory. That's the reason why we need 
to check that the address is below high_memory in addition.

For everything else, pfn_valid() should be enough.

For PPC64, we may want to add a verification that we are in the 0xc.... 
range, because of the way __pa/__va work. On PPC32 that's not needed.
