alloc_gigantic_page() implements an allocation method where it scans over
various zones looking for a large contiguous memory block which could not
have been allocated through the buddy allocator. A subsequent patch which
tests arch page table helpers needs such a method to allocate PUD_SIZE
sized memory block. In the future such methods might have other use cases
as well. So alloc_gigantic_page() has been split carving out actual memory
allocation method and made available via new alloc_gigantic_page_order()
which is wrapped under CONFIG_CONTIG_ALLOC.

One of the objections when Mike has proposed a similar thing last year
was that the interface shouldn't be order bases
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180423000943.GO17484@dhcp22.suse.cz

Order based API makes sense for the buddy allocator but why should we
restrict sizes like that for an allocator that is capable to allocate
arbitrary page sized requests?

Fair enough, will change it. Anyways we calculate nr_pages from the order 
argument at the very beginning.

Am I missing something or should here really be a pfn_to_online_page() 
here instead of a pfn_valid() ?

So we managed to add PageReserved(page) but not pfn_to_online_page(). 
But it is the right thing to do? (or am I missing something?)

Yeah, pfn_to_online_page is better. But please note that this is an
optimistic check. The real check has to be done when isolating the
pageblock because things might change in the meantime.

Except I have missed that we do get zone from the page and other
undefined state. Scratch my above comment.
