  • Earlier I unifdefed PageCompound, so that snd_pcm_mmap_control_nopage and
    others can give out a 0-order component of a higher-order page, which won't
    be mistakenly freed when zap_pte_range unmaps it. But many Bad page states
    reported a PG_reserved was freed after all: I had missed that we need to
    say __GFP_COMP to get compound page behaviour.

    Some of these higher-order pages are allocated by snd_malloc_pages, some by
    snd_malloc_dev_pages; or if SBUS, by sbus_alloc_consistent - but that has
    no gfp arg, so add __GFP_COMP into its sparc32/64 implementations.

    I'm still rather puzzled that DRM seems not to need a similar change.
