this really made me scratch my head. Wouldn't it be much simpler to do
the following?
                order = min(MAX_ORDER - 1, get_order(end - start))?

Yes. Much better. Will change to,

                order = min(MAX_ORDER - 1,
                        get_order(PFN_PHYS(end) - PFN_PHYS(start)));


+
+               ret = (*online_page_callback)(pfn_to_page(start), order);
+               if (!ret)
+                       onlined_pages += (1UL << order);
+               else if (ret > 0)
+                       onlined_pages += ret;
+
+               start += (1UL << order);
+       }
+       return onlined_pages;
 }

        }

-       set_page_count(p, 0);

        page_zone(page)->managed_pages += nr_pages;
        set_page_refcounted(page);

I think this is wort a separate patch as it is unrelated to the patch.
Sure. Will split the patch.
