Tell you what -- I'm going to make a hybrid patch, using Mahesh's
more understandable-yet-longer function, but with your verify_pfn()
and STRUCT_SIZE_INIT("mem_section") movement, along with a default
setting of 42 and a non-fatal WARNING message if things fail.
I'll verify it on RHEL5 and RHEL6.

If you want to change it later, that will be fine, too.

Thanks,
  Dave
