This prompted me to write a patch I've been meaning to do for a while,
allocating large pages if they're available to satisfy vmalloc. I thought
it would save on touching multiple struct pages, but it turns out that
the checking code we currently have in the free_pages path requires you
to have initialised all of the tail pages (maybe we can make that code
conditional ...)
It does save the buddy allocator the trouble of breaking down higher-order
pages into order-0 pages, only to allocate them again immediately.
(um, i seem to have broken the patch while cleaning it up for submission.
since it probably won't be accepted anyway, I'm not going to try to debug it)
