If we're tearing down the whole pool, surely we can skip this as well? 
(Same for the second list in patch #9)

In fact I think it might make more sense to refactor in the opposite 
direction and just streamline this directly into dma_pool_destroy(), 
more like:

	list_for_each_entry_safe() {
		if (is_page_busy()) {
			dev_err();
		} else {
			dma_free_coherent();
		}
		kfree(page);
	}

Nit: you bring this back again in patch #10, so we may as well leave the 
list_for_each_entry_safe() iterator in place until then as well, and 
save a bit of churn in this patch.

Further to the above, even if we did retain a separate function, if an 
argument is hard-coded at the one single callsite, and the only 
reference to passing any other value is in a comment effectively saying 
"don't do this", do we really need to pretend it's an argument at all? ;)

FWIW I'd just reword the comment in more general terms, e.g. "Resist the 
temptation to free unused pages immediately..."

Thanks,
Robin.
