Will do.

Since isolate_freepages_block() is the only user of split_free_page(),
would it make sense to move split_free_page() to page_isolation.c as

header file.

No worries.  I just needed for a quick comment whether I'm headed the right
direction. :)

I'll try and create the code no latter then on the weekend so hopefully
the new version will be sent next week.
