Here, wouldn't a simple 'else __mod_zone_freepage_state...' look
better than goto + label? (same for the following 2 patches). Or
does that generate worse code?
To remove goto label, we need two __mod_zone_freepage_state() like
as below. On my system, it doesn't generate worse code, but, I am not
sure that this is true if more logic would be added. I think that
goto + label is better.
Oh right, I missed that. It's a bit subtle, but I don't see a nicer
solution right now.

Yeah that would be uglier I guess.
Anyway, What do you think which one is better, either v2 or v3? Still, v3? :)
Yeah v3 is much better than v1 was, and better for backporting than v2.
The changelogs also look quite clear. The overhead shouldn't be bad with
the per-zone flag guarding get_pfnblock_migratetype.
I'm just not sure about patch 4 and potentially leaving unmerged budies
behind. How would it look if instead we made sure isolation works on
whole MAX_ORDER blocks instead?

Thanks.
