Subject[PATCH 4/5] linear reclaim add pfn_valid_within for zone holes
linear reclaim add pfn_valid_within for zone holes

Generally we work under the assumption that memory the mem_map array
is contigious and valid out to MAX_ORDER blocks. When this is not
true we much check each and every reference we make from a pfn.
Add a pfn_valid_within() which should be used when checking pages
within a block when we have already checked the validility of the
block normally. This can then be optimised away when we have holes.

Added in: V1
