    Not exactly what I was thinking of .. More like,

    "LOCKING NOTE: This code uses the fact that get_cpu_var disables
    preemption to maintain cpu affinity during the call to free_page()
    otherwise it might free pages on another cpu."

    (btw, your comment above comes off very snide, which I don't appreciate.
    I haven't done anything that remotely warrants that.)
