Can this be improved somehow? It took me a while to understand this
piece of code. i is actually end of block, and not an index by PFN, ({pfn = i - count; 1;}) is
simply hard to parse. Why can't we make __next_pfn_valid_range() to
return both end and a start of a block?

One thing I could do is flip the direction and work from the end to the start. If I did that then 'i' and 'pfn' would be the same value and I wouldn't have to do the subtraction. If that works for you I could probably do that and it may actually be more efficient.

Otherwise I could probably pass pfn as a reference, and compute it in the case where count is non-zero.

The rest is good:
