I see, so...

 alloc_pages()		-> alloc_pages_any_node()
 alloc_pages_node()	-> alloc_pages_exact_node()

right?  It just seems strange to me and different from usual naming
convention - ie. something which doesn't care about nodes usually
doesn't carry _node postfix.  Anyways, no big deal, those names just
felt a bit strange to me.

Thanks.
