Hmm, what about making index global variable instead of changing all
the prototypes? Similar to early_pfnnid_cache for example. Something
like:

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
extern int early_region_idx __meminitdata;
#define early_pfn_valid(pfn) \
                               pfn_valid_region(pfn, &early_region_idx)
#else
#define early_pfn_valid(pfn)  pfn_valid(pfn)
#endif /*CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID*/

And move this to arch/arm64/include/asm/page.h ?
