huge_page_order() expects struct hstate *h. Should be
compound_order(compound_head(page)) or compound_order(page) if it's
already a head page.

btw, I notice that force_sig_info_fault() sets 

        info.si_addr_lsb = si_code == BUS_MCEERR_AR ? PAGE_SHIFT : 0;

What's the intention of conditional 0 here?

It seems a bit better to pass "hpage" (the head page) instead of "p"
since the function only referenced the head page, and "p" is somehow
duplicated with "pfn".
