SubjectRe: [PATCH v14 8/8] mm: hugetlb: optimize the code with the help of the compiler

"When the "struct page size" crosses page boundaries we cannot
make use of this feature.
Let free_vmemmap_pages_per_hpage() return zero if that is the case,
most of the functions can be optimized away."

I think the above is more clear, but just a suggestion.
