If the memmap is virtually contiguous (either because we're using
a virtually mapped memmap or because we don't support a discontig

Contrary to popular belief, the compiler is not able to optimise this
itself for a vmemmap configuration. This reduces one example user (sg.c)
by four instructions:
struct page *page = nth_page(rsv_schp->pages[k], offset >> PAGE_SHIFT);

For sparsemem we could optimize within a single memory section. But not
sure if it's worth the trouble.
