I ran into a few build issues due to this patch. Comments below.

You use release_buddy_pages here, but never exported it in the call
down below. Since this can be built as a module and I believe the page
hinting can be built either into the kernel or as a seperate module
shouldn't you be exporting it?

So I am pretty sure that this isn't valid. You have a file in
include/uapi/linux referencing one in include/linux. As such when the
userspace headers are built off of this they cannot access the kernel
include file.

Why are you using a standard EXPORT_SYMBOL here instead of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL? It seems like these are core functions that can
impact the memory allocator. It might make more sense to use
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

See my comment above, I am pretty sure you need to be exporting this.
I had to change this in order to be able to build.
