Now consider this call stack from MMC block driver (this is on the ARmv7 
based board):

OK, so this is showing that ARM itself is making the assumption that the
pages are contiguous in the page offset map.

Fix this by doing the increment via the pfn, which will do the right
thing whatever the memory model.

Ok.  What would you like the patch summary line for this to be -
the existing one seems to be a little wrong given the content of
this patch...
