Then I have no idea what happens here.

The returned pages are identical, only the overhead to allocate them is
reduced significantly.

The only other idea I have is that this somehow changes the timing and
exposes a bug somewhere else.

You could try to replace the "for (order = min(MAX_ORDER - 1UL,
__fls(num_pages)); num_pages;" in ttm_pool_alloc() with "for (order = 0;
num_pages;" to get the old behavior.

Christian.
