Yuck.

Are you sure that this does not affect existing kernel versions?

That should be a seperate patch because this is just bogus code and
has nothing to do with the pfn confusion.

You really need to PFN_ALIGN _end and _text. Has been wrong in the
existing code as well.

This looks like an unrelated change, hmm?
