I cannot introduce a `bank` local variable as it's already used as the
index cursor for the loop.  Would you be fine with:

    for ( bank = 0 ; bank < mem->nr_banks; bank++ )
    {
        const struct membank *m = &mem->bank[bank];

        if ( !pdx_is_region_compressible(m->start,
                                         PFN_UP(m->start + m->size) -
                                         PFN_DOWN(m->start)) )
        {
            pfn_pdx_compression_reset();
            printk(XENLOG_WARNING
                   "PFN compression disabled, RAM region [%#" PRIpaddr ", %#"
                   PRIpaddr "] not covered\n",
                   m->start, m->start + m->size - 1);
            break;
        }
    }

Thanks, Roger.
