It could, though, if we made it to do so.

Not sure if we'd ever want it or not for other purposes, but 
find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes() could easily be made to use the passed 
in array rather than zone_movable_pfn in file scope directly.  That seems 
to be why it took an argument in the first place.
