Please begin comments by capital letter. They should be formal.

Also, please explain why. What currently this comment says is obvious
from the below.

> +	if ( cd_header->buf_size + sizeof(pd) > cd_header->cache_size

No space needed here.

Also, sizeof(pd) should have been sizeof(*pd), right?

if (cd_header->buf_size + sizeof(*pd) > cd_header->cache_size
 		|| cd_page->buf_size + pd->size > cd_page->cache_size){

> +		|| cd_page->buf_size + pd->size > cd_page->cache_size ){
> +
> +		if(!write_cd_buf(cd_header)) {

Space is needed here.

      	 	if (!write_cd_buf(cd_header)) {

Also, this comment is meangless, no additional information...

Hmm, so get_pfn_offset() returns the number of pages? If so, this
function name of get_pfn_offset() is very confusing.

Is this variable name written_pfns_size good? That is, I associate
page frame with pfn, but this variable should represent size of page
headers.
