None from me. Although I'd rather put all that stuff (including
kernel_map_page, as a cleanup) into arch_free_page and
arch_alloc_page, rather than teaching core code about unstable
pages just yet.

[BTW, if you do this, one actually notices that arch_free_page seems
to be in the wrong place since the page reserved checks came into the
allocator.]
