I guess instead of:

>> +static inline bool zone_pfn_same_memmap(unsigned long pfn1, unsigned long pfn2)
>> +{

You could do:

static inline bool zone_pfn_same_maxorder(unsigned long pfn1, unsigned long pfn2)
{
	unsigned long mask = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES-1;
	return (pfn1 & mask) == (pfn2 & mask);
}

I think that works.  Should be the same code you have now, basically.
