Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Sorry for the late reply, I was busy on
preparing patches. I do agree this is a direction we should look into,
but I haven't got time to think about it deeper. I hope Joonsoo could
chime in too since he is the original author for page extension.

Actually, I think the #ifdef should be removed if lookup_page_ext() is
possible to return NULL. It sounds not make sense returning NULL only
when DEBUG_VM is enabled. It should return NULL no matter what debug
config is selected. If Joonsoo agrees with me I'm going to come up with
a patch to fix it.
