I know this is copied from arm64, but wouldn't this be a good time
to move this next to the struct page defintion?

Also this:

arch/arm64/mm/init.c:   BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(struct page) > (1 << STRUCT_PAGE_MAX_SHIFT));

should move to comment code (or would have to be duplicated for riscv)
Makes sense. Where is a good place for the BUILD_BUG_ON in common code?

I've queued up changes for your other feedback.

Thanks,

Logan
