agp: efficeon: no need to set PG_reserved on GATT tables

Patch series "mm: PG_reserved cleanups and documentation", v2.

I was recently going over all users of PG_reserved.  Short story: it is
difficult and sometimes not really clear if setting/checking for
PG_reserved is only a relict from the past.  Easy to break things.  I
guess I now have a pretty good idea wh things are like that nowadays and
how they evolved.

I had way more cleanups in this series inititally, but some
architectures take PG_reserved as a way to apply a different caching
strategy (for MMIO pages).  So I decided to only include the most
obvious changes (that are less likely to break something).  So the big
chunk of manual SetPageReserved users are MMIO/DMA related things on
device buffers.

Most notably, for device memory we will hopefully soon stop setting
PG_reserved.  Then the documentation has to be updated.
