Currently if a special PTE is encountered hmm_range_fault() immediately
returns EFAULT and sets the HMM_PFN_SPECIAL error output (which nothing
uses).
EFAULT should only be returned after testing with hmm_pte_need_fault().
Also pte_devmap() and pte_special() are exclusive, and there is no need to
check IS_ENABLED, pte_special() is stubbed out to return false on
unsupported architectures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
