Re: [PATCH v1 3/5] mm: ptdump: Provide page size to notepage()

Compilers can warn about unused parameters at -Wextra level.  However,
reading scripts/Makefile.extrawarn it looks like the warning is
explicitly _disabled_ in the kernel at W=1 and not reenabled at W=2 or
W=3. So I guess this is fine...

I know it doesn't matter at this point, but I'm not really thrilled by
the idea of passing 0 as the size here. Doesn't the hole have a known
page size?

I'm more OK with the idea of passing 0 as the size when the depth is -1
(don't know): if we don't know the depth we conceptually can't know the
page size.
