virt_to_head_page cannot return NULL. virt_to_page also does not return 
NULL. pfn_valid() needs to be used to figure out if a page is valid. 
Otherwise the page struct reference that was returned may have 
PageReserved() set to indicate that it is not a valid page.

compund order returns 0 if you use compound_order() on a 
non compound page. No need for the PageCompound test.
