[PATCH v3 kernel 3/7] mm: add a function to get the max pfn

From: Liang Li <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-08 06:43:25
Also in: kvm, lkml, qemu-devel
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - core, memory management - page allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Vlastimil Babka, Linus Torvalds

Expose the function to get the max pfn, so it can be used in the
virtio-balloon device driver. Simply include the 'linux/bootmem.h'
is not enough, if the device driver is built to a module, directly
refer the max_pfn lead to build failed.
