optimization of sanity checks.

I certainly heartily approve of making page_copy_sane() be less insane
than it used to be.

That said - has the warning that it has triggered lately?

If that sanity check still shows up in profiles as a performance
problem, maybe the whole thing could at least be made dependent on
some sanity checking option to get rid of it entirely for the common
case?
