Enough! Please!
Linus, as many a craftsman of old, has taken to putting a tiny blemish into each of his final releases: partly as a signature to distinguish them from Alan's, yes, but more importantly to avoid attracting the wrath of jealous gods by the perfection of his releases. But it is unseemly that _we_ should keep on drawing attention to this blemish.
In silence, delete the two calls to deactivate_page from your loop.c.
