kernel_map_pages() will fall back to page poisoning scheme for
!ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

IIUC,  calling kernel_poison_pages() before kernel_map_pages() will be
equivalent to call kernel_poison_pages()
twice?!



Yes, you are absolutely right. In the !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
case we shouldn't need to do anything in kernel_map_pages.
