The patch also reverses the arguments of the function in
include/linux/gfp.h, undoubtedly to resemble the (mask, order) appearance
of __get_free_pages():
-void *alloc_pages_exact(size_t size, gfp_t gfp_mask);
+void *get_free_pages_exact(gfp_t gfp_mask, size_t size);

Doesn't look like this is using the arguments in the newly changed order.
