    Subject[RFC PATCH v4 20/40] mm: Provide a mechanism to request free memory from the region allocator
    Date
    Implement helper functions to request freepages from the region allocator
    in order to add them to the buddy freelists.

    For simplicity, all operations related to the region allocator are performed
    at the granularity of entire memory regions. That is, when the buddy
    allocator requests freepages from the region allocator, the latter picks a
    free region and always allocates all the freepages belonging to that entire
    region.
