That does look better than my suggestion, generally.

It is broken in the remove case, though. In your example, the memory
being removed is assumed to be coming from the end of memory, and that
isn't always the case. I think you need something like:

if ((max_pfn >= start_pfn) && (max_pfn < end_pfn)
update_end_of_memory_vars(start);

But, yeah, that's a lot better than new functions.
