Hmm to be honest I would have not thought it would be preferable to
duplicate a long string like
h_cg->nodeinfo[page_to_nid(page)]->usage[idx], and then for future
code changes to keep them in sync. I think Marco had the same thinking
and that was his initial suggestion, but I don't mind much either way.
I'll submit another iteration with the change :-)
