    bootmem: factor out the marking of a PFN range · e2bf3cae
    Johannes Weiner authored
    Introduce new helpers that mark a range that resides completely on a node
    or node-agnostic ranges that might also span node boundaries.
    
    The free/reserve API functions will then directly use these helpers.
    
    Note that the free/reserve semantics become more strict: while the prior
    code took basically arbitrary range arguments and marked the PFNs that
    happen to fall into that range, the new code requires node-specific ranges
    to be completely on the node.  The node-agnostic requests might span node
    boundaries as long as the nodes are contiguous.
    
    Passing ranges that do not satisfy these criteria is a bug.
