Uhh ... are you sure about this?  size is in bytes here, and we're rounding
up to the next page size.  So if size is [1-4096], then we add on 4095 and get
the answer 1.  With your patch, if size is [0-4095], we get the answer 1.
I think you meant:

	high = ((size + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT) + 1;
