That said, I don't believe this particular patch should make any

PAGE_ALIGN()ing the size passed to get_order() already seemed to be 
pointless.
True, we actually do get the right alignment just about anywhere.
Not 100% sure about the various static pool implementations, but we
can make sure if any didn't we'll do that right thing once those
get consolidated.
