This can be simplified.  There's no need for all the sill pfn_to_page()
conversions or even an alignment check.  The second page (page[1]) of an
order-1 page is never 2M/1G aligned.  Just use that:

	// Alloc an 8k page which is also 8k-aligned:
	p = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT | __GFP_ZERO, 1);
	if (!p)
		return NULL;

	split_page(p, 1);

	// Free the first 4k.  This page _may_
	// be 2M/1G aligned and can not be used:
	__free_page(p);
	
	// Return the unaligned page:
	return page_address(p+1);


Ack, I am good with using your version.
