You just put it in the wrong place I think.

It would be kind of guaranteed (not sure 100%) together with
CONFOG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and Thomas' page table pool (the pool is ifdefed
on that)

But a far better solution is to just split all the pages in  the system
with set_memory_4k() at boot time  (and memory hot add time) when you
know you're not in interrupt context.

I believe that would be the right solution for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC too.
