Yeah, that would have been helpful :)

As NOMAP itself is quite ARM specific, this check is currently only
relevant for arm64 and maybe arm32.
But probably having an EXPORT_SYMBOL wrapper for memblock_is_map_memory(),
say in memblock does make sense for all architectures that have
KEEP_MEMBLOCK.

Yeah, I agree that naming could be better here. I think that for a generic name
we'd need pfn_is_directly_mapped() so that it can be used on x86 ;-)
