Good point! I like your suggestion, and after thinking a bit harder
based on your approach, I come up with the following:

#define HV_HYP_PAGES_IN_PAGE ((unsigned int)(PAGE_SIZE / HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE))

for (j = 0; j < hvpg_count; j++) {
unsigned int k = (j + hvpg_idx) % HV_HYP_PAGES_IN_PAGE;

/*
* Two cases that we need to fetch a page:
* a) j == 0: the first step or
* b) k == 0: when we reach the boundary of a
* page.
*
if (k == 0 || j == 0) {
pfn = page_to_hvpfn(sg_page(cur_sgl));
cur_sgl = sg_next(cur_sgl);
}

payload->range.pfn_arrary[j] = pfn + k;
}

, given the HV_HYP_PAGES_IN_PAGE is always a power of 2, so I think
compilers could easily optimize the "%" into bit masking operation. And
when HV_HYP_PAGES_IN_PAGE is 1, I think compilers can easily figure out
k is always zero, then the if-statement can be optimized as always
taken. And that gives us the same code as before ;-)

Thoughts? I will try with a test to see if I'm missing something subtle.

Thanks for looking into this!
