Well, alloc_pages() and alloc_pages_node() look *REAAALY* similar.  This 
is a really small patch to just shrink alloc_pages_node() a bit and 
point alloc_page() and alloc_pages() at alloc_pages_node() with the 
appropriate arguments.

It is a pretty trivial change, just curious if there are any violent 
objections to such a change.
