Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's
endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER.  An issue is that the buddy allocator
requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned.  Otherwise
__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints.  page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone).  Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.

SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured.  ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently.  This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.
