Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Cleanups and fixup for page_alloc

Hi all,
This series contains cleanups to remove meaningless VM_BUG_ON(), use
helpers to simplify the code and remove obsolete comment. Also we avoid
allocating highmem pages via alloc_pages_exact[_nid]. More details can
be found in the respective changelogs. Thanks!

v1->v2:
  collect Reviewed-by and Acked-by tag
  preserve valid comments for free_pcppages_bulk
  send patch "mm/page_alloc.c: avoid accessing uninitialized pcp page
migratetype" separately.
  s/__GFP_COMP/(__GFP_COMP|__GFP_HIGHMEM)/g throughout both
alloc_pages_exact() and alloc_pages_exact_nid()

Miaohe Lin (5):
  mm/page_alloc.c: remove meaningless VM_BUG_ON() in pindex_to_order()
  mm/page_alloc.c: simplify the code by using macro K()
  mm/page_alloc.c: fix obsolete comment in free_pcppages_bulk()
  mm/page_alloc.c: use helper function zone_spans_pfn()
  mm/page_alloc.c: avoid allocating highmem pages via
    alloc_pages_exact[_nid]
