I scratched my head for a bit on this one. Why are you walking over
orders, *then* zones. I *think* you're doing it because you can
efficiently fill the bitmaps at a given order for all zones, then move
to a new bitmap. But, it would be interesting to document this.

FWIW, get_unsued_pages() is a pretty bad name. "get" usually implies
bumping reference counts or consuming something. You're just
"recording" or "marking" them.

What happens to the data in ->resp_data at this point? Doesn't this
just throw it away?

Is 'bmap_len' too short? a 64-byte buffer is a bit tiny. Right?

Urg, so this won't partially fill? So, what the nr_free pages limit
where we no longer fit in the kmalloc()'d buffer where this simply won't
work?

Do we need to fill in ->bmap_len here?
