Please consider inlining alloc_page_array() and populate_page_array()

of passing page_count as a pointer this way. If inlining is
unacceptable, please at least move the n_pages calculation to
relay_alloc_rchan_buf() to make the API more sane.

I know that but I am commenting on readability. The pointer passing is due
to silly interface (alloc_page_array() calculating number of pages on its
own).
