Maybe something for a followup, but we should really move all these
"ABI" structs and constants into clear ABI header files,
include/linux/kho/abi/XX.h?
Having them sprinkled about makes it harder to notice when people
propose to change them and that makes it harder to enforce ABI rules.

Shouldn't this be free_page()?
Otherwise looks OK
