Likely not exactly what we want?

pfn |= folio_nr_pages(folio);

Would make sure that we are "one PFN before the start of the next 
folio". The pfn++ before the next loop iteration would move us to the 
next folio.

Or am I missing something?

It might be cleaner if we would handle the "pfn++;" on the "continue;" 
paths inmstead, and simply here do something like

	pfn = ALIGN(pfn + 1, folio_nr_pages(folio));

instead.
