I see, so...

alloc_pages() -> alloc_pages_any_node()
alloc_pages_node() -> alloc_pages_exact_node()

right? It just seems strange to me and different from usual naming
convention - ie. something which doesn't care about nodes usually
doesn't carry _node postfix. Anyways, no big deal, those names just
felt a bit strange to me.

Thanks.
