This #ifndef doesn't really seem necessary.  All it is removing is a
check for size <= PAGE_SIZE.  Yes that check is subsumed by the checks
you are adding below, but on the other hand, #if[n]defs inside
functions are ugly and make the code harder to read.  Since this is
not a hot path, let's not have the ifndef.
