Does the below look like a step in the right direction?

It basically moves isolate_freepages_block() to page_alloc.c (changing
it name to isolate_freepages_range()) and changes it so that depending
on arguments it treats holes (either invalid PFN or non-free page) as
errors so that CMA can use it.

It also accepts a range rather then just assuming a single pageblock
thus the change moves range calculation in compaction.c from
isolate_freepages_block() up to isolate_freepages().

The change also modifies spilt_free_page() so that it does not try to
change pageblock's migrate type if current migrate type is ISOLATE or
CMA.
