From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> By permitting NULL or order-0 pages as an argument, and returning the argument, callers can write: return prep_transhuge_page(alloc_pages(...)); instead of assigning the result to a temporary variable and conditionally passing that to prep_transhuge_page().
