the 3*8 is to skip 3 values pushed on stack and get the return ip value,
I'd prefer to keep 3*8 but it's definitely missing explaining comment
above, wdyt?

did not know about this function, thanks

hum, how would that look like? I think that to get proper page object
you have to call alloc_page or some other page alloc family function..
what do I miss?

it's inside CONFIG_X86_64 ifdef

I think the compiler will cry about *pages[2] vs **pages types mismatch,
but I'll double check that
