We want to get rid of nth_page(), and kfence init code is the last user.

Unfortunately, we might actually walk a PFN range where the pages are
not contiguous, because we might be allocating an area from memblock
that could span memory sections in problematic kernel configs (SPARSEMEM
without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP).

We could check whether the page range is contiguous
using page_range_contiguous() and failing kfence init, or making kfence
incompatible these problemtic kernel configs.

Let's keep it simple and simply use pfn_to_page() by iterating PFNs.


Fortunately this series is RFC due to lack of detailed testing :P

Something gives me a NULL-pointer pointer here (maybe the virt_to_phys()).

Will look into that tomorrow.

Okay, easy: relying on i but not updating it /me facepalm
