Return the head page instead of storing it to a passed parameter.
Pass the start page directly instead of passing a pointer to it.

Looks good, but when we're changing the calling conventions anyway:

> -static inline void compound_range_next(unsigned long i, unsigned long npages,
> -				       struct page **list, struct page **head,
> -				       unsigned int *ntails)
> +static inline struct page *compound_range_next(unsigned long i,
> +		unsigned long npages, struct page *start, unsigned int *ntails)

To me the logical argument order would be something like:

static inline struct page *compound_range_next(struct page *start,
		unsigned long npages,, unsigned long i, unsigned int *ntails)

where the two first arguments pass in what is worked on and match the 
calling conventions of the caller.
