So why we don't need the other stuff done by e.g. map_pages()? For example 
arch_alloc_page() and kasan_alloc_pages(). Maybe kasan_free_pages() (called 
below via __free_pages() I assume) now doesn't check if the allocation part was 
done. But maybe it will start doing that?

See how the multiple places doing similar stuff is fragile? :(

This mixing of "isolated_page" and "page" is not a bug, but quite ugly. Can't 
isolated_page variable just be a bool?

I answered it in reply of comment of patch 1.
