With gigantic pages it may not be true that struct page structures

We're just eliminating mem_map_offset(). Please use nth_page()
instead.That's good to know. I will include that in v2.


for (i = 0; i < pages_per_huge_page(h);
i += pages_per_huge_page(target_hstate)) {
+ subpage = mem_map_offset(page, i);
if (hstate_is_gigantic(target_hstate))
