Due to commit e58469bafd ("mm: page_alloc: use word-based accesses for
get/set pageblock bitmaps"), pageblock bitmap is accessed with word-based
access. This operation could be simplified a little.
Intuitively, if we want to get a bit range [start_idx, end_idx] in a word,
we can do like this:
mask = (1 << (end_bitidx - start_bitidx + 1)) - 1;
ret = (word >> start_idx) & mask;
And also if we want to set a bit range [start_idx, end_idx] with flags, we
can do the same by just shift start_bitidx.
By doing so we reduce some instructions for these two helper functions:
Before Patched
set_pfnblock_flags_mask 209 198(-5%)
get_pfnblock_flags_mask 101 87(-13%)
Since the syntax is changed a little, we need to check the whole 4-bit
migrate_type instead of part of it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
