Cover letter [PATCH 0/3] pfn_valid_within() HOLES_WITHIN_ZONES helper

The thought of having a helper for the holes within zones code has come up on two different threads in the last couple of days. So I took the pfn_valid_within() patch I had developed for the linear reclaim series and pulled it forward to 2.6.21-rc4-mm1. I have split it into a three patch series to better align with the affected patch sets within -mm.

add-pfn_valid_within-helper-for-sub-MAX_ORDER-hole-detection --
adds the base helper and utilises it within the buddy allocator,

anti-fragmentation-switch-over-to-pfn_valid_within() -- changes
references within Mel Gormans anti-fragmentation patch series, and

lumpy-move-to-using-pfn_valid_within() -- changes references with
my lumpy reclaim patch series.
