Shouldn't be calculated from PAGE_SIZE (PAGE bits, etc)?

Wouldn't be following looks more readable?

seg_len = 0;
// Are compilers so stupid doing calculation per iteration in for-conditional?
// for (i = 0; i + 1 < n_pages; i++) ?
for (i = 1; i < n_pages; ++i) {
  seg_len += PAGE_SIZE;
  if (seg_len >= max_segment || page_to_pfn(pages[i]) !=
page_to_pfn(pages[i - 1]) + 1) {
    ++chunks;
    seg_len = PAGE_SIZE;
  }
}

Perhaps while() or do-while() will increase readability even more, but
I didn't check.

Something similar here (didn't you get warning from checkpath about
curly braces?).
