Another thing I would worry about are ports with multiple user page
sizes in 2.5. Another ugly case is the x86-64 port which has 4K pages
but may likely need a 16K kernel stack due to the 64bit stack bloat.

yep, but these cases are not affected, i think in the order != 0 case we
should return NULL if a certain number of iterations did not yield any
free page.

Ok, that would just break fork()
