Why not use the name of "reuse" instead of "block"?
Seems like "reuse" is more clear.

We can remove the last argument (struct page **page) if we change
the return type to "pte_t *".  More simple, don't you think?

Should we add a judgment like "is_power_of_2(sizeof(struct page))" since
this optimization is only applied when the size of the struct page does not
cross page boundaries?
