What likely saves us here is the compiler doing the right thing, and not actually looking up that pointer when unused -- or even inlining auto_movable_can_online_movable() twice into auto_movable_zone_for_pfn().

Yes, that's cleanest. And that's likely what the compiler does by itself already. Thanks! -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
