[PATCH 00/17] mm: zone & pgdat accessors plus some cleanup

[Cody P Schafer]

Summaries:

01 - removes the use of zone_end_pfn as a local var name.
02 - adds zone_end_pfn(), zone_is_initialized(), zone_is_empty() and zone_spans_pfn()
03 - adds a VM_BUG using zone_is_initialized() in __free_one_page()

04 - add ensure_zone_is_initialized() (for memory_hotplug)
05 - use the above addition.

06 - add pgdat_end_pfn() and pgdat_is_empty()

07,08,09,10,11,12,16,17 - use the new helpers

13 - avoid repeating checks for section in page flags by adding a define.
14 - memory hotplug: factor out zone+pgdat growth.
15 - add debugging message to VM_BUG check.

As a general concern: spanned_pages & start_pfn (in pgdat & zone) are supposed
to be locked (via a seqlock) when read (due to changes to them via
memory_hotplug), but very few (only 1?) of their users appear to actually lock
them.
