PFN_DOWN(r->start) makes sense because you are dividing and rounding a
byte-granular address to a PFN.

r->size >> PAGE_SHIFT translates number of bytes into number of pages.

It ends up being the same arithmetic operation to do both things, but
the units are different; the result of the second expression is not a
PFN.  I think this change actually worsens readability of the code.
