[PATCH] unpaged: unifdefed PageCompound
It looks like snd_xxx is not the only nopage to be using PageReserved as a way
of holding a high-order page together: which no longer works, but is masked by
our failure to free from VM_RESERVED areas. We cannot fix that bug without
first substituting another way to hold the high-order page together, while
farming out the 0-order pages from within it.
That's just what PageCompound is designed for, but it's been kept under
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE. Remove the #ifdefs: which saves some space (out- of-line
put_page), doesn't slow down what most needs to be fast (already using
hugetlb), and unifies the way we handle high-order pages.
