I hate to nitpick on this, but with noinline_for_stack a prototype
really is unreadbale unless the function identifier goes to the next
line.  Compare the one above with:

static noinline_for_stack void
putback_lru_pages(struct zone *zone, struct zone_reclaim_stat *reclaim_stat,
		unsigned long nr_anon, unsigned long nr_file,
		struct list_head *page_list)

Same here, just even worse due to the spill over ove 80 characters.
