Sure.

IMHO, having start_pfn and end_pfn in the parameter list would make the
interface easier to understand. Otherwise if we remove start_pfn,
the caller needs to adjust @page to be within the range of [start_pfn,
end_pfn)

You mean a patch just adding

unsigned long isolate_start = pfn_max_align_down(start_pfn);
unsigned long isolate_end = pfn_max_align_up(end_pfn);

in start_isolate_page_range()/undo_isolate_page_range()?

Yes I can do that.

Sure. Thanks.
