We have a little __same_type() helper for this.  __must_be_array()
should be using it, too.

Yep... but I think BUILD_BUG_ON(__same_type((addr), struct page *)); is
sufficient; void * is not compatible in my quick tests here.

That is what I get for only reading the manual instead of testing :(

(I only tested the completed patch, not each step along the way.)

I will try it later today and make a new patch if it works as expected.
