The determination of a page struct for an address in a compound page
will need some more smarts in order to deal with virtual addresses.
We need to use the evil constants VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END for this
and they are notoriously for referencing various arch header files or may
even be variables. Uninline the function to avoid trouble.
