Hi Mike,

Thanks for this nice cleanup series.

This old initialization of max_zone_pfns[ZONE_NORMAL] should also be
removed, right? With that removed it makes the local end_pfn variable
set but unused, so could you please also remove that one?

I know that this whole code block gets removed later, but the cleanup
max_zone_pfns[ZONE_NORMAL] and the removal of end_pfn (that is not done
later in this version of the series) fits logically in this patch.
