I agree: the PageReserved check looks unnecessary here, from my outside-the-kpc_2000-team
perspective, anyway. Assuming that your analysis above is correct, you could collapse that
whole think into just:

@@ -211,17 +209,8 @@ void transfer_complete_cb(struct aio_cb_data *acd, size_t xfr_count, u32 flags)
BUG_ON(acd->ldev == NULL);
BUG_ON(acd->ldev->pldev == NULL);

- for (i = 0 ; i < acd->page_count ; i++) {
- if (!PageReserved(acd->user_pages[i])) {
- set_page_dirty(acd->user_pages[i]);
- }
- }
-
dma_unmap_sg(&acd->ldev->pldev->dev, acd->sgt.sgl, acd->sgt.nents, acd->ldev->dir);
-
- for (i = 0 ; i < acd->page_count ; i++) {
- put_page(acd->user_pages[i]);
- }
+ put_user_pages_dirty(&acd->user_pages[i], acd->page_count);

sg_free_table(&acd->sgt);

(Also, Matt, I failed to Cc: you on a semi-related cleanup that I just sent out for this
driver, as long as I have your attention:
