Interesting. It has been that way since at least 3.1.
It didn't break the build because pageblock_default_order() is only
ever invoked by set_pageblock_order(), with:
set_pageblock_order(pageblock_default_order());
and set_pageblock_order() is a macro:
#define set_pageblock_order(x) do {} while (0)
There's yet another reason not to use macros, dammit - they hide bugs.
Mel, can you have a think about this please? Can we just kill off
pageblock_default_order() and fold its guts into
set_pageblock_order(void)? Only ia64 and powerpc can define
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE.
