pfn_valid check is not sufficient because it only checks if a page has a struct page or not, if "mem=" was passed to the kernel some valid pages won't have a struct page. This means that if guests were assigned valid memory that lies after the mem= boundary it will be passed uncached to the guest no matter what the guest caching attributes are for this memory. Introduce a new function e820__mapped_raw_any which is equivalent to e820__mapped_any but uses the original e820 unmodified and use it to identify real *RAM*.

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.
