Rather than saying the directory entries contain no spare bits, would
it be better to say something like: the devmap property only relates to
pte (leaf) entries and so we shouldn't perform the check on/should
always return false for page directory entries?

As a result we need to ensure that the *_devmap() family of functions
check fail for everything except leaf (PTE) entries.
