If we have holes, the holes will automatically get detected and removed
once we remove the next bigger/smaller section. The extra checks can
go.

Thinking in which case (zone_start_pfn != start_pfn) and it comes here.
Could only happen in case the zone_start_pfn would have been "out of the
zone already". If you ask me: unlikely :)
Yeah, I also think it's unlikely to come here.

The 'if (zone_start_pfn == start_pfn)' checking also covers the case
(zone_start_pfn == start_pfn && zone_end_pfn == end_pfn). So this
zone_start_pfn/spanned_pages resetting can be removed to avoid
confusion.
At least I would find it more confusing without it (or want a comment
explaining why this does not have to be handled and why the !pfn case is
not possible).
I don't get why being w/o it will be more confusing, but it's OK since
it doesn't impact anything. 
Anyhow, that patch is already upstream and I don't consider this high
priority. Thanks :)
Yeah, noticed you told Wei the status in another patch thread, I am fine
with it, just leave it to you to decide. Thanks.
