How could that happen for pages used for backing a vmemmap?

First of all, I think you should really avoid using
memory_block_size_bytes(); when using memory_block_size_bytes(), you
wouldn't need PageVmemmapSelfHosted(), you can just check if the vmemmap
of the page is itself. But I think we should try making this independent
of the memory block size.

If virt_to_page(page) doesn't work, maybe just traverse the direct map
to find the page backing page directly?
