The API is inherently log2 based, like alloc_pages() is. You could
make the same argument that alloc_pages() should accept a size and do
order internally too.

Okay, sure it isn't fast path or anything. It just seems weird to
start out with a lg2 constant value in most callers, shift it to a
size, then ilog2 it back to a lg2. There are few places that don't
have a compile time lg2 available.
