This changes behaviour in the corner case: if next_present_section_nr()
returns -1, we call section_nr_to_pfn() for it. It's unlikely would give
any valid pfn, but I can't say for sure for all archs. I guess the worst
case scenrio would be endless loop over the same secitons/pfns.

Have you considered the case?
