I worried about this WARN_ON() as it generates an 'ud2' instruction 
which influence I-cache fetching.  But I have disassembled (objdump) the 
page_pool.o binary and the ud2 gets placed last in the main function 
page_pool_put_page() that use this inlined function.
Thus, I assume this is not a problem :-)
