The kernel developers have agreed to allow loop variables to be declared in
loops. This will simplify these macros:

#define foreach_subbuf_page(sub_order, start, page)		\
	for (int __off = 0, page = subbuf_page(0, (start));	\
	     __off < (1 << (sub_order));			\
	     __off++, page = subbuf_page(__off, (start)))

And parameters as r-values should always be wrapped in parenthesis.

Then you can remove the "subbuf_off".

Nice catch by the way ;-)
