I guess we need __page_cache_alloc(gfp_t gfp) here for CONFIG_NUMA.

Maybe "return alloc_pages(gfp, 0);" here to avoid checking "order > 0"?

I think it will be good to have separate __page_cache_alloc() for order 0,
so that we avoid checking "order > 0", but that may require too much
duplication. So I am on the fence for this one.
