Consecutive zone device pages should not be merged into the same sgl or bvec segment with other types of pages or if they belong to different pgmaps. Otherwise getting the pgmap of a given segment is not possible without scanning the entire segment. This helper returns true either if both pages are not zone device pages or both pages are zone device pages with the same pgmap. Factor out the check for page mergability into a pages_are_mergable() helper and add a check with zone_device_pages_are_mergeable().

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.
