I've tried doing stuff that way but it ended up with much more code.

I guess instead of:

+static inline bool zone_pfn_same_memmap(unsigned long pfn1, unsigned long pfn2)
+{
+    return pfn_to_section_nr(pfn1) == pfn_to_section_nr(pfn2);
+}

You could do:

static inline bool zone_pfn_same_maxorder(unsigned long pfn1, unsigned long pfn2)
{
	unsigned long mask = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES-1;
	return (pfn1 & mask) == (pfn2 & mask);
}

I think that works.  Should be the same code you have now, basically.

Makes sense.  It'd require calling pfn_to_page() every MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES even
in memory models that have linear mapping of struct page, but I guess that's
not that bad.
