Does hns3_page_order() set a good example for the users?

static inline unsigned int hns3_page_order(struct hns3_enet_ring *ring)
{
#if (PAGE_SIZE < 8192)
	if (ring->buf_size > (PAGE_SIZE / 2))
		return 1;
#endif
	return 0;
}

Why allocate order 1 pages for buffers which would fit in a single page?
I feel like this soft of heuristic should be built into the API itself.
