We always check for section valid, before we check if pfn_section_valid().

static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)

struct mem_section *ms;

if (pfn_to_section_nr(pfn) >= NR_MEM_SECTIONS)
return 0;
ms = __nr_to_section(pfn_to_section_nr(pfn));
if (!valid_section(ms))
return 0;
/*
* Traditionally early sections always returned pfn_valid() for
* the entire section-sized span.
*/
return early_section(ms) || pfn_section_valid(ms, pfn);
}


IMHO adding that if (!ms->usage) is redundant.
