Subject[RFC] buddy allocator without bitmap(3) [3/3]
This is the last part.
There is no big change from the previous version.

--Kame
===

This is 4th.
This patch removes bitmap operation from free_pages().

In main lopp of __free_pages_bulk(), we access a "buddy" page.
It is guaranteed that there is no invalid "buddy" in the buddy system, because
all dangerous pages which has possibility to be coalesced with
out-of-range pages are removed in advance by calculate_aligned_end().
