Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rename alloc_pages_exact()


alloc_pages_exact() returns a virtual address.  But, alloc_pages() returns
a 'struct page *'.  That makes for very confused kernel hackers.

__get_free_pages(), on the other hand, returns virtual addresses.  That
makes alloc_pages_exact() a much closer match to __get_free_pages(), so
rename it to get_free_pages_exact().  Also change the arguments to have
flags first, just like __get_free_pages().

Note that alloc_pages_exact()'s partner, free_pages_exact() already
matches free_pages(), so we do not have to touch the free side of things.
