Instead of "a" and "b", how about naming these args something like
"page" and "prev_page", in order to avoid giving the impression that
comparing a and b is the same as comparing b and a?

In other words, previously, as an unrolled function, the code made
sense:

    page_to_pfn(pages[j]) != page_to_pfn(pages[j - 1]) + 1)

But now, the understanding that this *must* be called with a page and
its previous page has gotten lost during refactoring, and we are left
with a check that is, on its own, not understandable.

Otherwise, the diffs look good. With some sort of naming change to
the args there, please feel free to add:
