Compile tested and observed that warning is gone with your change. Also ran mm
selftests and all looks good. So:

Personally I'm not a huge fan of the __always_unused mark up, given that it's
used so patchily in the source. The warning also disappears without these
markups. (the real problem is just the `addr += PAGE_SIZE` below.
