1. page_to_pfn() * PAGE_SIZE is spelled page_to_phys()

2. physical addresses have type phys_addr_t. Oh, wait, paddr isn't a
physical address, it's a pfn because you divide by PAGE_SIZE at the end.
But you will get truncation on 32-bit, because page_to_pfn() has type
unsigned long. Anyway, this shouldn't be called paddr. Maybe last_pfn
or something?
