I wouldn't know. I did
    $ git grep -n "(size_t)(PAGE_SIZE"
    arch/powerpc/mm/dma-noncoherent.c:357:  size_t seg_size = min((size_t)(PAGE_SIZE - offset), size);
    arch/tile/kernel/pci-dma.c:176: size_t bytes = min(size, (size_t)(PAGE_SIZE - offset));
    arch/tile/kernel/pci-dma.c:192: size_t bytes = min(size, (size_t)(PAGE_SIZE - offset));
    drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/main.c:806:      len = min(maxlen, (size_t)(PAGE_SIZE - wl->fwlog_size));
    drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_libfc.c:143:                             (size_t)(PAGE_SIZE - (off & ~PAGE_MASK)));
    drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_io.c:160:                     tlen = min(tlen, (size_t)(PAGE_SIZE -
    drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_io.c:311:             tlen = min(tlen, (size_t)(PAGE_SIZE -

and concluded my solution was acceptable. Is your alternative considered
to be better?
