One tiny suggestion...

How about just changing that to...

	void __arch_free_page(struct page *page, int order)

... and leave the rest of the function alone.  Then:

> -extern void arch_free_page(struct page *page, int order);
> +extern int arch_free_page(struct page *page, int order);

Do...

    extern void __arch_free_page(struct page *page, int order);
    #define arch_free_page(page, order) (__arch_free_page((page), (order)), 0)

That way the compiler can omit the "if(...) return" even on UML
