The slab allocator uses page->lru for special purposes. See
page_{set|get}_{cache|slab} in mm/slab.c. They are used by kfree(),
ksize() and slab debugging code to lookup the cache and slab an void
pointer belongs to.
But, if you just need put_page and get_page, couldn't you do something
like the following?
